(Also the reason for my horrible Tuesday post~he truly makes me want to kick his ass)
You see the problem stems mainly from my direct Manager.....he is an annoying little weasal of a man, that daily pushes my patience level to an all time low....seriously, I have none when it comes to this sniveling little man....he reminds me so much of Mr. Burns, from the Simpsons...except, take the picture below, put a really bad toupee on his head...seriously, does he not see how ridiculous he looks?
I am past the point of caring anymore....today, it has never been more evident to me that I have got to find a new job....If this blog post is found, I will probably get fired...yay, bring it on!
He made a total ass out of me, during a conference call with our region office...or should I say, he forced me to make an ass out of myself....
The man is like a mosquito bite....who somedays...just itches a little, but other days...itches so bad that the more you scratch, the angrier the bite gets, to you make it bleed....he is incompetent to do his job, he is not making sales, he sits in the office (which we share) day in and day out...instead of meeting customers, drumming up new business, etc....he does not hesitate to interrupt me, constantly...when I am in the middle of working on "my work" to help him do his, or even when I am trying to eat my lunch, off the clock, at my desk, he still interrupts me, to the point where our communciation with each other is very snappy, filled with hateful attitude....he is clueless...he is never aware of our sales numbers, where we should be, where we are at..etc...etc...
This morning was no different....toward the end of the conference call, our Region Manger asked for our Pro Stat numbers, Lawn, hort and subcontracting...(I know this is foreign to you guys, basically...just dollar amounts where we are with sales for the year)...there is a report that has to be run, to acquire this information..a report I have never ran before, because our region manager has never asked us on a conference call to supply this information before...the idiot looks at me, asks for the numbers, I tell him.."I don't have them"...tell the region manager, to get back with us at the end of the call, I will have them...I run across the hall to the Branch Manager, he tells me to go to the Office Manager, she can run the report...which has to be run in two parts, and prints out down the hall, at another printer around the corner from my office...we print the first one, I run and grab it off the printer, and as I am heading back to the office managers office to print the second half...I hear the idiot, tell the region manager.."I don't know what's taking so long, guess I will have to get it myself".....I seen red...I was so pissed!
I stood at the door, looked at him, said "I AM GETTING IT, I CAN'T JUST PULL IT OUT OF MY ASS!!!!"....I was so upset, at that moment, and under so much pressure, I snapped! I did not realize that he did not have the conference call on mute, therefore, everyone in the entire region, that was on the call heard me! I am so mad....at him, at myself....the region manager kind of joked about it at the end of the call, made the comment.."Donna, thanks for those numbers...although I really would have liked to see you pull them out of your ass"....(cue red face here)...I am embarrassed...the idiot made me cry....which is usually a weekly occurrence anymore...
I don't know what to do....I told the branch manager what happened...he laughed, said he thought it was funny....but, I am sure my "attitude" will be brought up at the next performance review....who cares....I probably won't be here next January...regardless of what the hubster wants me to do....I am going to look for another job...Purdue University has a ton of job offers on their job line...I am sure they need some Administrative Assistants....the only problem I have, is my resume'...it is saved on a floppy disk...I don't have a floppy drive on my computer...at home or at work....I think Kinkos does, so I am off to Kinkos at lunch time, to transfer it over to CD rom disc, then I am going to update it, start sending it out....
I am an educated, smart, pretty woman....I have four lovely sons, a wonderful husband and I deserve better than this shitty job....and damn it, I am going to get it!
