Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

What a GREAT lead into this post!!! The MS family walked around LSU's campus today and strolled through the bookstore. In the law school section, there are countless "blah blah law" and "defense of yada yada" books about a yard thick. HOWEVER, there was a book titled "Plain English for Lawyers" that's about as thick as mini-MS's Dr. Seuss books. I found it quite fitting and let out a suitable chuckle. :spit:

F'ing HATE micromanagement...

You're going to update this spreadsheet to match the numbers from that one, right?

<Translation> You're going to do this.

I know this isn't your priority for me, but you'll finish this by this afternoon and let me know, right?

<Translation> You're going to do this and tell me when you're done.

And the micromanagement continued through last night. I come in this morning to 24 emails, 10 of which are from my boss. Five of those were about making sure I was going to do something and follow-up when it's done.

GRRRRrrrrr!!!

 

[willsee]

You took care of the TPS reports...right?

 

[Master slacker]

Never got the memo. Sorry.

I'm the opposite. I am a hands-off manager. I am available if help is needed and I get involved if I must, but I mostly just let my guys do the work they were hired to do.

That's how my boss is

 

[Master slacker]

Your people are allowed to do the work they were hired to do?!?!?!? Can I sign on? No one can seem to pull that off here.

This really needs to stop. For like the past week my dreams have involved be being in some sort of school, going from class to class...different setting most nights.

What the heck. So annoying

 

[Capt Worley PE]

I dreamed I was the Captain of a U-boat.

 

[snickerd3]

you win, I'd rather be in school.

It was actually pretty cool. Standing on the front deck, watching the sun set, and listening to the hiss of the sea and the thrum of the diesels.

In my dream I was having an affair with a woman who was a wierd mix of people I've interacted with:

-My wife's best friend (best friend in the dream too)

-A woman I was supposed to testify as an expert witness against (Name & occupation)

-Our neighbor who recently had a baby and is breasfeeding (in the dream she was lactating and was worried about the baby)

-the ATF agent woman in Sons of Anarchy who Jax "should not get in bed with" (in the dream I was told several times "Do not get in bed with that woman" - exact quote from Gemma)

Out of all of this I've learned not to have a beer before bed shortly after taking allergy medicine...
