Two days ago, I get a call from my boss. She’s all happy with my performance, and gives me a semi-promotion to a wider network position. All is sweetness and light.
Today I get a call from my boss. Seems one of my co-workers (who desperately wanted the network position) advised her that I’ve been spending hour after hour surfing the net at work and that I don’t have enough to do.
Yeah. Right.
I explained to me boss (who resides/works in a different city) that I just finished up teaching a series of three classes that began in mid-February. I’ve been putting in 9 and 10 hour days, prepping on weekends, and my students have scored higher on their finals than any of hers ever do. She seemed to accept my explanation. But I hate it that I had to provide an explanation!
Now, I’ve got a week to learn a new system before I have to deliver a month-long class on that…and the same little weasel that bitched had the gall to ask if I’ll do some training for her next week because “she’s really busy” and I “know the material” better than she does.
I’m going to go ahead and do it. And maybe I’ll start keeping a log of her productive time…if I can find any.
Sometimes work just plain sucks!
This is getting hard. Somebody relieve me. (A Wallian exclamation)
