The Boss Part One

I know, I know. It’s called Meet My Co-Workers not Meet My Boss but I felt the need to talk about about managers since I reference them quite often. So allow me to introduce to you to my personal manager. We have quite a bit in our office – in charge of different things. Why? I have yet to figure that out especially since they all report to the same person.

If you’re involved in one project you have a project manager. If you’re involved in a report you have another report manager. The manager’s are endless in reality.

Getting back to my favorite – my boss. Oh and yes that IS sarcasm.

Allow me to paint you a picture. One of my personal ‘pet projects’ was last year was to time his lunch breaks. To see exactly how much time he actually takes. In the year 2008 he took a total of 5 months time. What does that include? That is going beyond the couple of weeks we have for vacation and the week for sick days. This is the 3 hours spent at a sports bar minus the 1 hour ‘allotted’ for lunch. That is 5 months of calling in for a ‘personal day’ after all ‘personal days’ were taken.

Wait that’s not the funny part.

What he likes to do is make sure everyone arrives on time and everyone in the office has called the Spreadsheet of Dome, more on that later. Basically if you’re 5-10 minutes late he marks it down and compiles it only to review it with employee.

I just wanted this to be a brief introduction to my boss because trust me there is more coming on this interesting individual.
