I am trying to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head and down the stairs.
I swear, there are people so afraid of change, they just make life ridiculous (and I'm saying this fully aware that I HATE CHANGE.) Me: "Hi, we changed steps because something broke. Instead of automation converting x to y, we make y instead and automation won't do anything." (Essentially taking a step OUT of the whole thing.)
Boss: We should wait to implement this until next cycle so it can be coordinated and make sure it works right.
Me:@@ It's already been done because it was.broken.the other way.
It doesn't sound like a big deal written out. But that's my boss.
(a cautious) Yay, Grace!!!!

No, I get it. Been there.
"If we do Z, things are more efficient and actually work, so I've been doing Z."
"But...shouldn't we wait to start doing Z until we get a feel if, maybe, possibly, somewhere along the line somebody may object to Z?"
"No, because doing it the old way, pre-Z, did. Not. Work."
"I just don't want to upset anyone with Z..."
Like, grow a pair, Boss! Sack up! Z works.
...
I am fucking grumpy today.
No shit you are. You must CHILL.
My
boss just asked me to explain how the water cooler works. Like, why doesn't all the water come out?
Being a former engineer, I guess he was curious. Anyway, I explained it to him. Only a slightly annoying diversion from my work. (And depending on what I'm working on, such diversions might be welcome.)
edit for sense....
A lawyer friend of mine now has, as office decor: a 3 point mounted deer head wearing a tie and a lifesize cardboard Cher.
Both of these things are so at odds with her philosophy, taste and career that they are almost perfect representations of how damned quirky she is. I love it.

ION - 15 MIN TO LEAVING WHEE!!!!
Awesome news about Grace!
Theo, unless you were leaning over the guy's desk and shaking dandruff out onto it, he was clearly being toolish.
Since I didn't go to the actual site, dunno if it's "real" or not....
