Please tell me what you think working document means in the following exchange:
Moving forward, will you want me to compile these bi-weekly for you? Is this method, of me making an estimation of hours spent, the way you would like it done, or would you like me to send you a blank form?
Will this be a working document moving forward? If yes, I would like for you and (name) to complete the document moving forward and send to me for my signature.
(I'm sorry, msbelle, I'm out of brain to comprehended... anything at this point).
I almost forgot: happy belated birthday, BT!
esse, I'm so very sorry. Much love and strength to you and your family.
A belated happy birthday to Trudy and BT!
msbelle, that's some horseshit. What kind of incomprehensible doublespeak is that?
I do not KNOW? It is a timesheet due to HER boss every 2 weeks. Working document is like an evolving document changing as the situation warrants it, right? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE MEANS AND THIS IS HOW SHE IS!!
I really really tried to ask yes or no questions or pose this or that options. and yet she still did not just answer them.
Working document is like an evolving document changing as the situation warrants it, right?
Yes...you can't complete and submit a working document, that's not what those words mean.
I'm sorry, msbelle. The more times I ready those words the less I understand them.
msbelle, I believe I would interpret it as "agreed upon final version" and/or "something that we're really for sure going to do", I think. (I'm trying to hear it in my boss' voice and figure out how I would interpret it - my boss loves corporate catch phrases and doublespeak).
Msbelle you sent the first paragraph and she sent the second? I'm stumped. Also, how on earth can you estimate her time for her?! Like, is she in meetings alll day so you can say "1 hour project X, 3 hours project y"?
omg - THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE - I really just think I am losing my mind with being all ???!?!?!? confusion emoji with damn near every email from her. Because NO ONE ELSE starts to backchannel about "wtf does she mean by....." or at least they do not with me.
And no matter how I try to imagine it, an email back like - "I am not familiar with the term Working Document in this context, but (Your Boss) is wanting this form submitted every two weeks ongoing" sounds somehow snotty.
