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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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?"

I talked to someone from HR, and she actually cautioned against that, since I should first give her the benefit of the doubt and understand where she's coming from.

Ooh, I like that first part. Because that was sort of the point of these things, and she didn't actually consult either of us before putting them together.

In my experience, when you try to reach the C. Exec of a company you are routed to someone trained specifically to fend off people trying to reach top officer. That often results in action being taken on the problem that motivated you.
