Another boss rant....consider yourself warned! Actually it is 2 rants!
Friday my boss comes to see me with a paper that he has finally agreed to let go out to a journal. He has it in his hand and asks me "You do still plan on learning more about statistics don't you?"
Me: "Ummm yeah, why is there something wrong with the statistics in the paper?"
Boss: "No"
WTF?!?! Where did that come from? I mean really!
So today he brings me a Plan of Work that he was reviewing. I should explain that the Plain of Work is an internal document used to outline a project including such things as literature search, hypothesis, sampling and testing, etc.... This was an update of a previous Plan of Work. I added a part 2 to something he had previously approved! He admits as he comes in the room that he only has a few small things.....mostly grammatical. Now, I will admit that the grammar was not 100% spot on. I threw together a quick document for internal use....I guess I should have done better. Oh by the way, all of his grammar comments were in the original part of the document and not the new part of the document......he missed them the first time.
That is not the problem though, if all you can pick on is my grammar so be it. But no! He then tells me "you know, you don't need to do all variables for all projects" Ok, this may be, but this is a pretty big project and it is designed to allow us to establish some fundamentals, so I think it would be best to do all the variables we can. I explained this thought and he agreed that for this project it is important but he was "...just saying for future reference...." WTF?!?!?! I mean really!
I think Beau and Leslie have hit the nail on the head for this one.........ARGH!
Good news is that it is a short week for me....Wednesday night I am out of here for the rest of the week.
