ice.....where in the hell is the ice!!!!

it's late and i'm tired so beed is gonna drop the 3rd person schtick. i shouldn't be on this computer. i should be upstairs icing my left ear down. why? well, let me tell you a little bit about my job.

my title is operations support specialist. i only have two people under me. one is another manager and his title is directory analysis specialist (DAS). i also have one craft employee under me. i always said this is the only management job i'd put in for cuz i only have to manage two people and put up with their petty shit.

anyhoo, i got the job in october of 2003. one thing my predecessor did for me was tell me the phone numbers of two ladies that could help me with any problem i ran into. both of them were DAS's. one in paducah ky. and the other in evansville in. i had both of them on speed dial and that is the God's honest truth.

anytime i ran across something i didn't know how to do i would call one of them and they were always patient with me and taught me how to do what i needed to do. i always typed out how to do it and put it in a binder so if it was something i wouln't need to do for another six months, i would be able to resource my binder and know how to do it.

anyhoo, both of those ladies have moved on. one has become the plant manager of paducah and the lady from evansville has retired. so now, i have went from the novice to the expert. their replacements call me daily with querstions on how to do this or that. and i honestly don't mind. hell, their predecessors helped me when i needed it, the least i can do is help their replacements.

so, the lady that replaced the one in evansville wanted to come to b.g. and train under our tutelage. she arrived this a.m. and spent the first half of the day with our DAS, gregg. she wore him out and then i had her for the second half of the day. she is one of those people that NEVER stops talking.....hence the icing down my ear statement. and i was rude enough to interrupt her when she was on a roll.

i had printed out how to do several procedures that she would need to be able to do. i covered all of them with her. but for the love of God.......she never shuts the f' up. she is a good person and i think she will do a good job filling the position but heyzeus cristo on a popsicle stick...can you stop running your cakehole for just a minute?

she is going to be with us for one more day, and i promise i will train her to the best of my abilities......but shit. where did i leave my earplugs? i'll need them tomorrow.

tomorrow i hope to have a post on the numbers of people that visit my idiocy and where they come from. that is what i meant to speak on today but i got sidetracked by sir speakalot.

your boy,

icing down his ear,

dahbeed.

oh yes beed...I have one of those at work too. Bad thing for me is that she works one aisle over -- not a few hours away. I try to avoid asking her ANYthing because it will lead to at least a 20 minute one sided discussion. I'm nice when I see her in the hall and say 'hi', but I don't dare slow down as if I want to talk more. I just keep on a movin'. She knows everything. Has done everything. Knows everyone. grrrrrr....as I get ready for work I know I will probably have to tolerate one of her 20 minute diatribes today. Just get through the day and she'll be gone....

Maybe you can blame it on her ancestry ;)

Oh Beed, it's a really good thing you and I have never been in a one on one situation, because I'll talk your ear off too. You won't need ice though, you'll need a micro-surgeon, just to reattach the damn thing.

Gotta love chatters!! Here's the worst part about me and my talking. I'm not the worst in my family. My grandma is 1000 times worse than me. Here's my side of our 1 hour conversation: "Uh huh", "Yes", "Okay", "Really?", "Grandma, I...", "Hey, Grandma, I...", "I hate to cut you off, but...", "Uh huh", Grandma, gotta go..."

Yeah, that's about it. I love her though!!

well, she only stayed for half a day today. we have a general clerk (secretary) here that will talk your head off too. and she repeats things at least 3 times. as if i am at amoeba level intelligence and i need it 3 times to understand it.

i have actually stopped her before and said "hey, i got it the first time".

and condray, even tho' i always made a's on my report cards i would always get a bad grade in conduct with a notation that said talks too much.
