You Can't Teach an Old Bitch NEW TRICKS

As I had expected, things at work have not taken a turn for the better. A new person was hired to fill the previous staff writer’s shoes since he quit a couple of weeks ago. As much as I want to tell her what she’s in for (and BOY is she in for a wild ride), I’m just going to have to let her find out on her own.

It’s a real shame because she’s very nice and energetic, but this place has a talent for chewing and spitting out its employees. I haven’t even been a year and I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count on one hand.

It’s only been her third day and she’s ALREADY starting to realize how much of, not only a non-sensical and selfish bitch, but a lackadaisical and ignorant cunt my (our) boss is. The lack of time managing and priority handling skills that woman has is unbelievable. You would think that the director of marketing and communications would have some sense of SENSE, but the bitch does not.

I, for one, am treated like her personal assistant when it is convenient for her. On top of my daily duties; updating the school’s master calendar, designing and printing promotional materials, collecting print bids and talking to print vendors, creating a weekly bulletin of events, updating parts the website, and the other odds and ends I have to take care of, which I’m already struggling to get done on a daily basis, she has a habit of putting frivolous and unimportant responsibilities on ME.

Most of the shit are things the director of marketing and communications should handle (ie. information research or business phone calls). Mind you, we DO have an admin assistant, yet she insists on having me fax stuff or run errands because she is too fucking lazy to do things her self and too stupid to utilize the admin assistant.

Case in point: Tuesday, she ordered me to find out who on campus is able to convert a cassette tape to a CD. The damn thing had nothing to do with me or my job and she spit out names of people who to ask, like I fucking KNEW who they were. She even said it herself: “I don’t want to sit here and transcribe it if I can have someone else do this for me.” Ok, understandable, but why have ME of all people take time out of my ALREADY CRUNCHED workday to take care of YOUR bullshit?

She does this to me every time; dumps a laundry list of responsibilities on me with tight deadlines, then puts her frivolous nonsense on top, and then has the nerve to micromanage and interrogate my procedures and progress like I’m not doing my job.

I REALLY REALLY don’t know where she gets off… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
