Tis a long story and I not only am way too busy but also just too tired of it all to write it out anywhere I don’t have to. Suffice it to say that Boss repeated his inappropriate behavior and has been officially reported. Now the hard work begins.

Action Items

• Classes for both of us on communication. While I’m sure I could always use help here, he believes I am soley to blame and denies any problems. They don’t believe him because of his behavior with his boss and her left hand of god administrator. He has to go to the classes anyway.
• I have requested a facilitation meeting with a third party to help us see each other’s viewpoint as I do not wish to meet alone with him at this time. I want action items. I want to show that I am totally willing, keep my side as clean as possible, and give him all the rope he needs when he fails to see his part and gets himself fired. (I was told he either gets willing and makes some serious changes or we change it for us. so to speak. Basically, if he doesn’t get it hasta manana baby) It rarely goes well. I have writen up the invitaion addressed to him to meet with said third party of his choice, it has been sent.
• I must write up a calendar of university courses that will bring my web skills further into the 21st century and the department will send me.
• I must have ready at the facilitated meeting
  • a narrative of how I saw the events in question
  • goals for our progress
  • my training calendar (for both personal and professional growth)

I will be documented to the teeth. It is not his forte says LHOG. Suffice it to say, I saved his bacon in a meeting on Thursday when I should have let him fall flat on his face (LHOG’s words not mine). Since I saved him, he is convinced that I ruined everything and can’t see how he screwed the pooch. If I had not saved him he would have had to explain to the client why the wish list boss asked for can never be given. I should have let him squirm but I tried to help the client and made life very difficult for myself.

*sigh* Rat Bastard scum sucking shithead poor guy who is so afraid of everything that he is impossible to work with.

He has been told that under no circumstances has he shown in any way that I deserve to be fired.

I hope to mop the floor with him with my documentation and my willingness to be wrong, to apologize, and to change. I hope that we can find happy resolution and that I don’t have to quit. I get the feeling that LHOG is on my side and while we hope that we get positive results out of all I’m doing, I get the distinct impression that I have Machiavelli on my side and that Boss isn’t well liked in that LHOG office.

I probably wouldn’t mind my boss so very much if I couldn’t smell his halitosis from 5 feet away!!! OMFG… Unbearable stench that lingers after he’s left! I had to put my hand in front of my nose and mouth it was so bad. Mints dude. They are cheap and easily found just about any where…

A few changes around the ol’ homestead. Must be all the spring stuff I’m doing at home bleeding over into my virtual home…

As you have noticed the appearance has changed. I have also added a couple of new permanent pages. Comments. Events. Textile Gallery.

The other thing I’m doing is going through the archives of my old blog and bringing over posts and photos that I know I will want to access again one day. There are lots of “new” posts in the categories for the times when you are bored to death at work and simply must fritter it away reading about my little life. *wink*

I am a tad concerned about the Comments page. The creation of this page is not directed towards any one person or incident. I’ve simply become very aware that I have a dangerous hot button about certain things. The best thing I felt for me to do is to let you all know that the hot button exists and to give you a map that allows you to walk around the land mine. It is my fervent hope that you will not take this personally nor take it as a direction to simply not communicate with me. That would be a very sad thing as I’m so enjoying getting to know so many cool and interesting folks and staying connected with folks I’ve known for some time.

I have found that it’s best to understand where the boundary fence is BEFORE you crash into it in the dark.

See how hard it is to see? Even in the daylight? So I thought I’d give you all a red flag too.

I just have to say that this guy is a jackass. I sure wish his wife was still my boss. And that we’d never hired him.

He just walked all the way down the hall to tell me to add a publication that he has in his files. Why not just add the one frikking publication that is in the file open on your computer into the biosketch document that is ALSO open on your and save yourself the following?

• the walk
• the stress
• the joy of telling me I missed something, that he is right and I’m a screw up
• the walk back to close the frikking biosketch so I can make the addition because I? can only access it read-only because all the files? Are open on HIS computer

Nothing gives him more pleasure than to tell someone they missed something. He forgets that my doing this project was because he failed to do it himself and I was bailing him out by pasting crap in the document and then he could format and edit when he returned. He frikking BEGGED me 10 minutes before he left for a week. Words can’t describe what I think of the little tightly wound despot.

Jackass

Oh, wait, I guess words CAN describe…

And then he comes by and tells me I’m doing a great job… *sigh*
