Bad Bosses: What Kind are You? by Jeff Schmitt, Business Week Tuesday, January 26, 2010
And thanks to @J_Jammer for sending me this article. Good find.

Dudley B. Dawson writes a column Life in the Cubicle for Examiner.com, and wants to interview me. What should he ask? What are you dying to know?
Keep in mind I won’t be revealing my secret identity or discussing my extreme disappointment at having to watch a Super Bowl without my beloved Giants.

Why I don't like Thursdays.
blondhousewifesthoughts:
Thursdays last a day and a half. I get up at three AM. I have to exercise in the mornings when I first get up, the alternative is waiting until after dinner. And the last thing I want to do then is exercise or do anything strenuous, other than changing a channel or turning a page.
Thursdays are the only days that I get to do site visits at my facilities. While I do...
Monday: “You spent too many hours on my project last year. We were way overbudget. That can’t happen in 2010.”
Tuesday: 3 separate hour long meetings for her project that “everyone MUST attend”.

If only I had said this:
@MeetingBoy: Email still down, but someone came to my desk to call me to a meeting. God, I hate people who follow up.
@darealchrisreed: You should have yelled at them “PROXY ERROR: YOUR MESSAGE COULD NOT BE RECEIVED!”
When asked what people's favorite @MeetingBoy...
I got this response, which made me laugh out loud.
Dower Phillips LOVE the one where the moronic co-worker does that moronic thing? In the tedious meeting? You know the one i’m talking about. That one fkn kills me. See the rest and enter to win the @MeetingBoy calendar.

The bosses are back in the office today, so I won’t be on Twitter much, if at all. My immediate supe gets pissed off when she catches me on the ‘net and finds it necessary to reprimand me (yes, I’m serious). That’s hard to take from someone younger than me. It’s like being scolded by one of my kids, which doesn’t go over very well at...
