*cue Twilight Zone music*
So…it has been a strange day. A very hectic day. I just want to go on record as stating that if I suddenly stop writing one day, and some Info-techno-anthropologist someday finds these missives and wonders whatever happened to the writer the crazy white guy on my job probably went off and did us all in.
*serious face*
No, there isn’t any one thing that I can put my finger on as believing that he will explode. It is just a feeling I can’t quite shake that there is something not quite right about him.
Let me just say that he is in a managerial position and he’s had it for longer than a year. Every day it is more and more evident that he doesn’t know what he is doing. He doesn’t remember what was discussed even a few hours ago let alone the day before or last week.
Case and point: I was working on sending several subcontract modifications out for one of his accounts today. He and the coordinator in charge of the project were standing in my doorway going back and forth. He was swearing that he had given me a modification that he hadn’t last week. I was about to pull up the email so he could see that he hadn’t given it to me on Friday. When he finally paused for a breath the coordinator said: I just gave it to you this morning.
The look that passed between them! Wow! All I could think of was the line from A Perfect Murder: That’s not happiness to see me. *concerned sound*
At that point I closed my office door. This is the second time the two of them have been in my office trying to prove to each other that the other one is wrong in less than a week. So far he is O for 2. The last time they were both wrong and I didn’t even bother to correct them. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t necessary for them to be right. It was only important that what needed to get done, got done. And thanks to me and my boss, it did.
He gets more and more frustrated at his own mistakes. Then he tries to play it off like he’s not frustrated or angry and everything is good. *skeptical all day long* Everything is definitely not good. He’s working with the wrong person’s accounts to be messing up. There’s an ocean between him and this woman and she can still raise hell from where she is. I’ve seen her in action. It was not pretty.
There’s so much more to add to this but I just don’t feel like going into it right now. But I thought I’d go on record as saying something about him ain’t right. I just got a weird feeling about the guy. Like I said there isn’t an instance that I could go to personnel and say: Hey! He’s crazy! This is why. Do something about him. It is just a feeling.
So if I disappear, look for news on office shooting in downtown Baltimore. *sips eggnog with shaky hand*
