AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :brickwall: :brickwall:

Why can't people answer a relatively simple and rather straightforward question? I just asked for clarification on what he said at a meeting last week and I got a lengthy email response with a lot of irrelevant information without answering the question.

I can't tell if this is a good sign or a bad one. The boss came into my office and asked if he could help me with any of my projects, cuz he was "light". I've been working my tail off, and he's "light". ARRRGGGHHHH!

With the PE around the bend, give him all of them!

 

[FLBuff PE]

He doesn't touch any of my environmental projects. He wants nothing to do with them (from a management standpoint). He does like the $ it brings in, though.

 

[csb]

that sucks!

 

[FLBuff PE]

that sucks!

I actually like it. I have good client retention, and handle my own billing. My projects are reviewed by an environmental PE in our Denver office, and I ask him any questions that I have. For the geotech. that I dabble in (the simple gravel S & F now and then), I ask my direct boss. It's all good.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. . . . I am so pissed right now. Managers!

 

[frazil]

[maryannette]

I needed a scream this morning, but I was too busy to post.

So,[SIZE=24pt] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!![/SIZE]

 

[maryannette]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[csb]

Are you okay, Mary? You're screaming a lot today...

 

[maryannette]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I'll be fine later. I've been working on self assessment due Monday. Not my most favorite way to spend time.

Maybe one more big push and it'll be over, ...

Wait, I don't think it's THAT painful.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

You must be on NSPS. I heard it really sucks.

 

[frazil]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

oh, thanks for the reminder. I have one due Monday too. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

 

[maryannette]

Yes, I'm on NSPS. It really doesn't suck as bad as most people say, but it just causes stress. I am used to a performance-based self-assessment system. That's what I've been doing for about 10 years. First time in this job means some adjustments. Plus, the system is fairly new, so the kinks are still getting worked out. And, format seems to be extremely important. I feel like I'm doing COBOL programming and getting syntax errors.

Good luck with yours, fraz.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

mary, you must not have ever been on the GS system. The folks that I know who had to change over have nothing nice to say about NSPS. Just wait til all the supervisors get bonuses and the worker bees get squat. I hope it doesn't happen where you are, but it has been the case with all my AF buddies.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Woohoo another apple-ite! Yeah I heard that too, but my motherboard fried. It doesn't turn on. If it's out by the end of August I'll be okay but after that I'll just have to get one. :-( Or use the fiance's 7 year old PC tower :-O
Insider info says "imminent release" and "possibly August 4th".

Apple is FINALLY releasing the new Macbooks and Macbook Pros. Only 2 months after the original "imminent release" date. It's been tough holding out this long.

AUGH! Not this Friday....not next Friday...but the next next Friday is the exam AUGH!
