Graphic ANALysts

Yes it seems we are now being called Graphic Analysts, not Designers; although Masters was an option - I sort of like that option more, it's so zen sounding.

Anyways, I have finally cracked and have started talking back to my manager, use the word manager lightly, he can't manage effectively. This is the manager that makes sure I have plenty to keep me busy then turns around and prints 200 pages for his airplane newsletter. The same manager that has to drive to Atlanta for 2 days just to see if a warehouse is big enough, yes; the same manager that has trouble taking one line of type and tilting it in a program; yet he had the audacity to ask me why something was taking me as long as it was to fix - I just said "what do you mean why is it taking me so long", I honestly can't handle him anymore; which is bad - this is the first time that I've liked my job but not my manager; usually it's the other way around.

Last week my children were sick so I was out for 2 1/2 days - not 2 1/2 days of woo hoo having fun; 2 1/2 days of fevers and mama, mama, and throwing up and he said if my kids were going to keep being sick he just didn't know what he was going to do - well what the hell does that mean.....wanna fire me because my kids are sick, how dare my kids get sick, bad little sick kids - I just want to slap him sometimes.

I don't know what to say about him, he's creepy, annoying and clueless. Monday August 4th, we are a new bigger and better company - I was hoping that he wouldn't be necessary anymore but so far it appears that he's still going to be the manager - sad but true.
