So I got my first email from my old boss. Apparently she wanted to know if I remembered when I last ran a report that had April as the most recent dates generated. Seriously. After having a chuckle I sent her back a thinly veiled sarcastic remark telling her that she should probably go by the dates on the program and explaining to her how the program works. I also added that I was 'sorry for the late response, but I was on vacation'. You know, because I'm an asshole. Her email made some vague remark about us supposedly running the report weekly, which is utter bullshit. We haven't ran that report weekly since the move to LAX... seven years ago. I didn't have the energy nor the interest in getting into some bitch fest over something I could give a shit about so I ignored that part. Considering she's going to be on vacation for the most of June I probably won't be hearing much from her. I'm hoping she deals with the fact that she ignored me for a month and now has no information regarding what I did and how I did it. I feel sorry for all my friends who are going to suffer the wraith once she gets back, but not enough to lift a finger and do two jobs. I just hope they can deal with it long enough to get the hell out.

Meanwhile back at the ranch... word is that I may be going to my new office on Thursday. More later...

As you can see this week has been hell. Yesterday my boss took me and two of my coworkers to lunch. And by 'took' I mean walked with. The lunch was next door at the Hilton. We had the overpriced buffet. Who pays $17 for a VERY low end salad bar and lunch meat? We ate, talked and I made damn sure we weren't rushed through lunch. It was supposed to be for me, but it ended up being a 'lets hear about how wonderful OB is and all her thoughts on everything'. Whatever. It was her dime. I did get her back when it came to the gift time. She gave me an engraved lipstick holder (yeah, I know...). I opened up the box and she excitedly said, "Look at what it says!" I looked, smiled and said, "Oh! How nice! They spelled it wrong though." You should have seen her face. I waited a few seconds and turned to towards her, saying, "Just kidding...". Yes, I'm an ass. But she sooo deserved it. When the bill came she passed it to my coworkers telling them their portion. I didn't realize she wasn't paying. I felt so embarrassed. At least I got to take a breather from work. Today should be insane, but that's okay. It'll be over in about nine hours and I am going to decompose. The funny part? It really hasn't sunk in that I'm not coming back on Monday. Wish me luck!

This morning my OB had the usual meeting with the AAs. She talked about me leaving for a bit and mentioned that 'she taught me everything I know' and she'd be 'taking back reports' from me... as if she knew how to do them. So I spent the latter part of the day working on the big report instructions. You know, the one that goes to all the big wigs over the hospital. So far I've managed to simply list where she can get all the information. Fuck her if she thinks she knows all the data. She can figure out how to enter them into the Excel graphs embedded into Word without fucking up the whole thing. I'm not going to worry about it. She can kiss my VERY white ass if she thinks I'm that useless. 'Take them back'. HAH. Four more work days, man. Four more work days.

I am still reeling from this morning. OB says, "Odessa, I got this weird email from NB telling me that your end date was going to have to be May 30th. Why did she send me that?" I told her that it was in response to her statement and she said, "I didn't say you were staying longer. You asked ME if you could." I blinked. I dropped my jaw. I let out a high screechy "WHAT!?!" that made dogs cringe. She insisted I was the one that asked to stay longer. Oh sure. Because I WANT to stay in a job with a boss that's psychotic. We went back and forth for over twenty minutes. Each refusing to back down. She said I started it by asking if I could stay. I countered with a "Did not!" and she said that why did I mention the end date? "Because Ann wanted to confirm and I asked you as a courtesy. Because YOU said you may need me longer." Yeah, I hate this job so hard right now.

Later on our IT guy got a dose of Creepy IT Chick to boot. He sat to use my computer while I went to cool off and I came back to her talking some sort of shit about me. He was NOT happy. He finally snapped at her that he makes the IT decisions for our department and that some sort of freeware would NOT be installed. I found out later she was telling him to install some sort of freeware so OB could screen capture easier. She walked out of my cubicle huffing and making smart remarks. I tried to calm him down (and he's usually unflappable). I waved the three hole puncher in front of him and said, "Look what I've got. Need anything punched?" He said in a REALLY loud voice, "Yeah, HER!" Awwwwkward. But funny. Really funny.
