Well today that changed. I went back and counted the days, 25 of them ... and that is A LOT for me not to go off. See I am like Ari from Entourage, he just likes to get mad and go off and fire people and that is how I have been up until I went on the vacation. I truthfully like the new, calmer me. Part of me is worried that I am numb as I talked about before but at the same time I am glad I just don't flip.
Well it piled on real quick today before 10am and I snapped. The first event was the CEO's computer has been acting up. I fixed it again today but what makes me mad is he now goes to the secretary for everything. When LD left the company a while back, he decided that this person would be his right hand person, and pretty much escalated her from secretary to management. I don't mind him asking someone to work for him directly, I think it is a good thing b/c he can be a space cadet.. but in terms of what he is asking her to do it out of hand, especially when I can do them well (and still continue to do them when he thinks it is her). Now don't get me wrong, it isn't that I don't like the secretary just I think that some things he asks her to do she doesn't have the knowledge yet to do. Not to mention when he has her doing all this stuff no one is answer the g.d. phone. Well now he is going to her with his computer problems. She takes it upon herself to go in and try to fix the problems which in turn make the problems worse. Then of course I get the blame that the computer isn't work and they are all pissed. So that set me off that she had fucked with the computer.
Then another guy here at work that always tries to find things people do wrong and report them to management tried to get me in trouble. He did a search on the network and some accounting files came up. So he decides to send the following email (VP is who he sent it to, dickhead is him):
VP,
I was looking for information on which V-Groove Caster files we purchased and these files came up. It is probably sensitive and needs the permissions changed. I would recommend, that auditors and accounting get their own virtual drive, which only they can read.
-Dick Head
So instead of emailing me that he found a permission problem, he emails the VP and tells him it is wrong and how he thinks it should be fixed. Note he is a Mechanical Engineer not an IT person. Not to mention they put him in charge of software development and we had to take everything he did, scrap it and start over (long long story).
Well I went in to VP's office and pretty much blew up. Said this is ridiculous he is trying to make me look bad and get me in trouble. VP told me to calm down, I said that I would be calm if this wouldn't happen all the time, I go into stuff about secretary and CEO and he actually ends up agreeing with me which is a miracle. But, he says there is nothing he can do to fix it (at least the CEO thing).
So 25 days isn't bad... I am proud of myself, and of course I will end up going off on Dick Head b/c I just don't like him. I think what burns me more is yesterday I did some work for him b/c he was swamped. I offered to help, did it for him then he does this.. ARGGGGGHHHHHHH
Hopefully I can calm down soon, I have to teach tonight so it will be a long day.
Kinda fitting that post #100 involved me going off.. but then again isn't that expected?
