Well, I took Friday off for a much needed break. When I get back in this morning, I find out that they've hired a new boss for my department. From "outside."
This means that someone who has no idea of what I do is going to be my manager? I hate breaking in new bosses from inside the company, but at least they know who I am. Now I have to teach someone my job, so she can appropriately manage me.
My current boss, who got promoted, knows me well enough to understand that I work best when I'm just left alone with my work.
No need to check up on me, or ask if I need assistance. If you got something for me to do, just give it to me and say when you need it done.
So now we're all just waiting for our new boss to come in and we'll just see how this goes. Oh well.
Here, have a creepy doll picture for your Monday enjoyment.

No fun. I hear ya.
I'm pretty lucky with being left alone too.
I had a "new" boss a couple of years ago who was a total asshole. Everyone knew she was full of shit and had NO business being in the position she was in, but she was a good bullshit artist - in truth - a diabolically compulsive liar. I got on her good side by behaving like an arrogant bitch who didn't give a crap about my job. Gotta fight fire with fire sometimes.
I babble a lot on Monday mornings. Sorry.

Well now you can show the boss how you do your job but leave out about 40% of the crap, and make what you tell her seem really time consuming. then he/she won't be riding you all the time and you can use your "extra time" to do what everybody does at work - use the net.

Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in
every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way.
