OMG No one ever told you about that...you just took your finger out of the hole in the dam by pulling at that one gray, and the crack is now increasing at phenomenal speed....too late to go back

In those situations... I like to be completely quiet as possible. You know, when all you want to do is verbally rip someone a new one.... total silence tends to drive them crazy... or at least saying what you need to say in as few words as possible. It's a fun game! Anyhoo... when I'm done with the "silence is golden" treatment (which is handy because no one can hold anything against me), I then proceed to do ONLY what is specifically outlined in my job description. I am more than willing to go outside the lines of my particular job description, but not if people are going to take advantage of it.

And if THAT doesn't work, I like my new approach.... "I can either do [yet another time-wasting inane task that anyone can do] or I can do [something vastly more important and unique to my position]. Which would you like?" Because THEN if you don't get the more important task done.... you have that person to reference and say, "Well [Mr. Boss Man] asked that I do this other thing instead." With a smile, of course.

My random thought today.... houses. On continuous loop. And that patio set I saw on the Sam's Club website today... it had a fireplace in it... and it was only $700! Freakin sweet! If only I could trust myself around fire, I'd be all about it!

Di, that is all fine and dandy and usually what I do. But when this person complains to the HR director about my performance, then I get upset. He came by about an hour ago to apologize.

Why was I just given a time card for work? I am salary...

If my boss thinks he is going to make me do a time card and stay on salary, he's got another thing coming. I will immediately jump right over his head. I've got enough dirt on him to get him in some real trouble. I'd like to play nice, but I guess he doesn't want to...

Could he be trying to find a way to fire me? Still, I'll go up and over, I have no qualms about it. I'm trying to leave on good terms...

I'm salary and I have to fill out a time sheet. My guess is so they can keep up with vacation & sick time? But if you'd never had to do one before, I agree, that's weird.

You are going to love Austin. But you probably already knew that.

I think I decided on a house last night! Now I have to read a lot of paperwork! YAY!!!

Nope, I live just north of Dallas (about to be even northier).

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in Texas who doesn't think Austin is just super.

Drat! I was just going for mild confusion! There goes the collective IQ of the planet!



Congrats on the house! I guess it's a good thing someone enjoys paperwork.
