pyke 0 #1 May 28, 2003 Just thought I would bitch a little about having to be at work until GOD KNOWS WHEN so I can finish this presentation for my boss! What is it about corporate big wigs that think they can want something that took 5 days to construct and update - IN 18 F*^#ING HOURS!! Anyway, I hope all are well...and I feel a little better about it now! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr.

colbrodie 0 #4 May 29, 2003 Sorry, Kiwi. You need a new boss. My boss kicks me out of the office when I spend too much time there! Just think about how much fun we had on Sunday in the flood partying on the picnic tables. Maybe we can find you a job in NC! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #5 May 29, 2003 I see my boss about once every two weeks. He does occasionally send me an email in between though. Maybe once or twice in that two week period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a leadership course they teach in management school that defines "Give and Take" and "1/2 and 1/2" Give and Take: Your boss gives the orders, you take 'em 1/2 and 1/2: Your boss gets the amangement half, you get the labor half. Your boss gets the easy half, you get the harder half. At least you got a job... I've got one for another 24 hours Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyke 0 #7 May 29, 2003 Sorry to hear that boobiecootie... my sister is in the same boat! Sucks all around I guess!! And colbrodie - I would love to transfer up to NC, but I have already pitched the idea of that to my boss (actually - it was austin, tx - so might have better luck if I move to charlotte) and he shot me down! I did have lots of fun on picnic tables....and anytime you want info about NZ - just let me know. I got loads of it!! Later sister!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr.

BoobieCootie 0 #8 May 29, 2003 Eeehhh. Nothing to be sorry about. I turned in my notice over a month ago. I'm living (not misspelled) on my terms. I've outgrown this parachute (company). Time for a new one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, after 5 hours of sleep - I am back in the office pluggin' away at it again. Is it any surprise that I can't concentrate on anything!!???Well, it looks like we'll have to do something like that again this evening, but hopefully not NEARLY as late! Ahhh....the working life!
