Thursday..........
Crazy tired....
Welcome to the land of FUBAR!! All are welcome. You know I'm talking about the state of my employment...right? My life in comparison is well ordered and hurts less.
Yesterday....Oh, I have rants and flights of fancy.
1. The woman did not sit with me to observe me in my environment. She was late to work so it's rescheduled for today. This was the only relief of the day.
2. I have been working on my audits and here is where the first aneurysm of the day occurred. Back story: My manager sent out a new report on Monday(remember the rant on why I have more audits than I was supposed to). Anyway, this report is mine until I finish it. Everyone on the team was sent the report with their items clearly marked. I tried to wade through the murk and made notes on things I would need to do more research on, get feedback on or hone my review.
Yesterday, I was ready to post some of the items it had taken me a bit of time to write. I go to post them in the application and they were already done Tuesday by Twitchy. WTF was going on. This happened to seven of my reviews. I finally asked him... WTF? He told me he was working on the report from last week. He didn't think that his reviews had changed. When we get a report my manager resorts things because this is random. He's had this job for three or four years and every time he does the same thing. If other people do it he has a meltdown and nearly goes postal. It doesn't phase him when he screws up other people's work.
3. While I was having this meltdown Twitchy asked me about something we review. I was having a serious case of deja vu' because this is the same thing he asks me all the time. There is a job aid for the type of thing we are reviewing. He keeps asking me questions because he wants to find short cuts. I keep telling him there are no short cuts. He also keeps telling me he's not going to write something up because he wants to be easy on people. Excuse me that is not your job. You have to write these reviews based on the documentation. If you don't write something up that person will never learn and the managers will have no clue what things may need additional training. Can I scream Pleeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!
4. There is a new process which was introduced a few weeks ago and it's going to be totally confusing and open a lot of people to more errors. At this point it's making my audit psychotic to do. My manager hears me. I went to talk to him about the crazy that is going on. He ended up pulling me into my 1 on 1 with him. We talked. To calm me down and brighten my day we did some phone monitoring. Seriously, I never laughed so much from the stupid in my life. They should be happy that I'm not monitoring these calls yet because no one would be left standing.
As I was leaving our little meeting I talked to my manager about Twitchy not using the new report. I'm not telling tales. When he does this it impact people's ability to get their work done and we are already extremely behind in our work. I told my manager not to get crazy with the knowledge but it is an issue. He agreed and wandered off to a meeting.
Opinion: Twitchy and I are at the same grade level...Seniors. The next level up is supervisor. Who do you think would get that job if there was an opening?
Work calls.....
