Written around 11:30am today
I cannot win with the President of the company I work at now. He called in once when the phones were all jacked up (which was about 3 weeks ago & they are still jacked) and basically blamed me because of the way "it sounded" like I answered. I had to remind him that the phone system is old you know. The manual says 1985! He couldn't do anything besides agree with me, but still managed to make me feel like the ass.
Then today was another fun incident with him. Also, about two weeks ago he asked me to mail some items to his son back east. Of course I did. President man vacationed over the 4th out there with his son. I got a call from him while he was out there asking me how I sent the items, as they still hadn't arrived. I couldn't remember exactly how I sent it. I just remember getting an envelope or two from him already addressed. So I mailed them. Long story short, today he's back in the office and came to visit me, asking if he could "jog" my memory. Yea, I couldn't remember a week after sending the items0 but I sure as hell remember three weeks after! Duh.
So because I couldn't remember, I again look like an idiot. Which I must be- because nothing goes right when I do something for President man. He is like beyond intimidating to me. The interview with him was horrible. Almost like he thrived on watching you squirm. The other girl who got hired same day as me- told me that she had to interview twice with him because he made her so nervous the first time. That should give you some idea of the guy. Right?
Well it's a load of crap and I'm totally not sticking around for the next incident. It's not just that though. I thought that this job was going to keep me busy (as they informed me in the interview). They keep saying it will pick up and we will be swamped. And that this slow period is odd. Ok, I understand that for sure. But trying to look busy when everyone knows there's no work and just so that the president man thinks Im busy is also a load of crap. I brought a book to read when there isnt even any filing, but I'm not allowed to read it even then. President dork would have a fit they say. What am I suppose to do?? There is no work but you want me to look busy? Well hows about this? I write about how retarded this company is on your company pad of paper so that it "looks" like I'm taking notes on how to "better answer the phone" and "how to stick a stamp on outgoing mail". Will that work, retards?
