I was going to post this yesterday, but I ended up with a lot on my mind last night and completely forgot. But Mr. Ditsy at work ticked me off yesterday. Sometimes he just makes me laugh with how ditsy he is. Other times he seems to enjoy having a power struggle with people, including me. Now, he's a manager, and I respect him as one as I am not, but I've been with the company 10 years and he's been with the company a year and a half. Manager or not, I have way more experience with how things go down, and what works best, and so on. I was doing some auditing yesterday and he walks by me and asks me what I'm doing. Inwardly I said "Duh, can't you see what I'm doing??" because it is pretty obvious when someone is auditing product. But I answered "I'm auditing", although my annoyance might have been picked up in my tone. He walks away, and a minute later comes back, and tells me I'm doing it wrong, and tells me I'm suppose to do it this way and that way and yadda yadda yadda. ::) Ok, Mr. Ditsy, I know how the "ideal" way is, but I've been doing this for 10 years, I have a system, I know what I'm doing, and I have a very low error percentile. You can follow the protocol to the "T" if you want, but you need to give me the benefit of the doubt here and trust me! I of course didn't say this out loud, I merely didn't say anything as I was afraid I may say something mean. He finally walked away again, I rolled my eyes and continued my work the way I'm use to doing it. I finished, printed out the report and well well well, what do you know, no mistakes! He was really trying to tell me what and what not to do for the rest of the day. Clearly a power struggle. Although I'm a bit flattered that he seems to be a little intimidated by me. Hee hee. :P
I'm also the "techie" at work, as I usually know how to fix minor problems with the computers, printers, cameras, copiers, fax machines, telxon guns, etc. He's also very high tech, and likes fiddling with techie things. So a lot of times when I'm trying to fix something, usually because one of the other managers came to me for help, he likes to watch me and tell me how to do everything. Do you actually think I'd be messing with all these wires and screw drivers if I didn't know what I was doing? Do you actually think I'm just playing with it, like a little kid would?? Grrr, just leave me alone! Although again, it's very amusing when I can't fix something, so he tries, and does only half the things I had already tried, because he's too ditsy to even think of the other possible problems.
