reason why my boss is > *
In the last 48 hours or so, I've written and passed in a 10 page paper, participated in a 90 minute seminar and a psych survey (I'm a lab rat), done a shuffle of a couple of machines (and in so doing got to inconvenience, idle, or otherwise fuck up about $750,000 worth of salary and $150,000 worth of hardware). This morning I've was head down trying to sort out the fallout from that last particular item, including dealing with a faculty member who was displeased with some of the results. (Not my fault he didn't read his email, and he did apologize, but I was still pretty pissed off at the time.) I've also had a steady stream of visits from others who also did not read or understand the warnings that were sent out and are put out that their files have `disappeared', and of course there's the usual machine-swap madness.

I forgot to eat this morning, so my boss went and got me some cake, an apple, and my favourite from the C&D, beef vindaloo.

Yay! If only my headache (literal, not metaphorical) would go away, life wouldn't be terrible.

Your boss does have underappreciated employees.

It's not all bad, I've gotten apologies (and thank yous) from two faculty members not renowned for such. Would have been better had I not been dumped on in the first place for something that wasn't my fault and had only done under orders, but hey. I get pissed sometimes too.
