I should not be but I am .
I am continuously surprised at the bullsh*t I see some people pull at work, regardless of their placement in the overall food chain, especially with the implied expectation that no one notices their shenanigans and malarkey.
You rarely see egos like those of attorneys.
It ain't pretty.
A whole section is being reshuffled because one slack jawed knuckle dragging primate in training has decided that he " NO LONGER WANTS TO PASS BY OR LOOK AT THE FACE OF HIS FORMER LEGAL ASSISTANT."
GROW THE F UP.
I no longer want to shave my legs but because I am a civilized person I do so as a courtesy to the lovely folks who do my pedi's every other week. No...for the record, I do not shave above my knee where the foldy bit of the leg actually is ..if we are in that region....there had better damn well be dinner and many drinks involved bucko...just sayin.
But still...manners are manners.
This hatted one has everyone in an uproar. Most of us are amazed that this is being allowed to happen but he does bring in the Benjamin's so squeaky wheel wins again.
Does he really think he's won ?
Yes, the legal assistant could have been a bit better at managing her time attending to his work, I tried to warn her that the junior member of her assignment slipped a lot into toddler behavior quite easily and she needed to placate him a bit...but no....
In the end it did no good because the hatted one got his way and she frankly is lucky to have a job here..trust me..I've seen separations for less cause.
Life lesson...learn to observe behavior more and pay attention .
In order to be able to validly say " Not my first rodeo." , you have to survive it in tact.
Gonna be a long ass week.
Ciao,
Aunty Pol

I hear you hon, I hear you.
Lawyers may be the worst but we have our fair share of primadonna scientists.(Someone has an office 27 sq cm larger than mine? A better view? A nicer lamp? It's an outrage and this gross inequity must be remedied immediately! I'll take it to the Director himself if need be!)
Funny, our Nobel prize winner, Adam, never asks for anything special (at least insofar as it affects the support staff or might violate funding rules). Amazing that the real superstar seems to be able to abide by the rules and not make a general PIA out of himself. Oh yeah, but then he's actually busy doing real science and doesn't have time for shenanigans! ;-)
What is it they say about administration? Every day is a new adventure?
Yeah, I know of whom you speak! FYI I am talking to HR Monday about certain matters. Today topped it. I'm plain wore out!
