Well, in fairness to my boss, "dressing down" is an exaggeration. I think from her perspective it was more like "explain why this caused a problem and offer suggestions to prevent it from being an issue in the future." It's just my own big giant Issues that made me go into simmering fury over it.
I just don't want to be doing this kind of work anymore, I really don't. And until my new boss got here, this job WASN'T this kind of work, at least not so much. I was the only organized person around, so I felt like I had power in all my organizing and paper pushing. Now, well--I feel like my boss's assistant, even though my cards still say "Operations Manager."
Stephanie, do you know the name of the beach we went to on Sunday?
Well, it's called something del Opisbo and translates to "Bishop's Crook" (like a shephard's crook - the hook thing they use to get the sheep back). I can't remember what the word for "crook" is in Spanish.
Ok...based on this picture I found online [link] I think it must be Poza del Obispo Beach in Arecibo. Does that sound right?
Yep, that's the beach! I'm glad to know the word - I won't forget it now.
Oh, wow! Look at this picture of the beach... [link] I got a video of a much smaller crash like that. But, so gorgeous!
Dear lord. People (meaning clients, not y'all), if someone doesn't answer the phone when you call, it doesn't mean they aren't at work. It means they couldn't answer the phone. It's helpful if you, instead of calling back every five minutes, actually leave them a message so they can return your call.
We have some great pictures of that beach, but I just realized that none of them are on flickr.
I need someone to remind me that I can't scream "THIS PLACE SUCKS! YOU ARE ALL FUCKING INCOMPETENT MORON SHITBAGS!" set fire to the place and leave.
I cannot believe that I still CANNOT answer these peoples' questions! And the people who CAN are NEVER FUCKING AVAILABLE!
FUCK THIS PLACE IN ITS ASS WITH A METEOR THE SIZE OF TEXAS!!
I'm guessing then that you won't be asking for a permanent position?
