For the rest of the day or for longer, vw?

Ack. My glasses just self-destructed. One of the lear pieces fell off a few weeks ago, but since I wear contacts most of the time, and glasses just at night and early in the morning, I keep forgetting to get it fixed. Now, one of the lenses just fell out. Can't get it back in. Time to actually go to the glasses reparit place, I guess.

Just for the rest of the day.

But, now I'm not sure how I'm gonna get through the rest of the day. I've got to get to campus, and I have three tutoring sessions this afternoon. I'm not sure how effective I'm going to be...even with more coffee. I really just want to curl up and go to bed forever.

Oh, well. Time to head off, and who knows if I'll be able to access the board from campus, so I'll see you guys later.

I'm sorry about your douchey bank Aims. We had a bank screwup with our tax return check that caused a two week clusterfuck.

If someone ever cut me off from caffine, I would be sorely tempted to rip their face off.

Okay, bug, but the important question is whether you drank3 more cups before your therapist cut you off (because that was my guess)

Aimee - I'm sorry. TCF sucks the big one - I was happy to switch away from them when I moved here. Also, they're a very neo-con Republican institution. Run away!

(I realize that most banks, by virtue of their trade, tend toward the Repub side of things, but most also make a point to give back to the community and do charity work.)

(((Aimee))) I'm sorry that your bank is being so awful. Give them hell!

I'm going credit union this time around.

Oh yeah, baby!

I have a work-related question.

So, we recently hired someone new, a drug safety manager. Her job was to relieve some of the duties of my boss. But she seems to have the impression that she is my new boss, contrary to what I've been told by my actual boss. So that's one confusion.

The other is that she was tasked to come up with an official job description for me, a medical writer, and my co-worker, who handles most of the safety-related tasks. And...she gave us both the same job description, turning us both into "drug safety specialists" who reported to her. The responsibilities of which include maybe three bullet points that involve any sort of medical writing.

Now, she seems to be a fairly open person who's trying to do what's best for us, but...I'm still having trouble figuring out how to tell her how completely unhappy I am with the job description. That I'm confused about the fact that if she respects me as a medical writer, which I presumed she did, why did she write up a job description for me that makes me sound like I won't be a medical writer anymore?

Can you say, "I'm not sure this description fits the job I've been doing so far. Should I assume my responsibillities have changed, or could we discuss what my job has been and go from there?"
