Free day off, hey? take a nap? why not? I deserve it...sorta.
yeah...welcome to my little afternoon napmare
The ole brain takes me and puts me back at my old job. Like I still had my new job, but they like forced me back to my old one because things were going to be different and they needed me and etc. And I slid right back into it just fine, right back at my same pace and consistency and all. They had me in a section by myself it was all quiet. Got alot of welcome back we're so damned glad you are back comments. The new manager came over to my cube and introduced himself and I was between calls so I put myself in aux code "whatever" to talk to him. That went real well, took the next call. Then I get an e-mail from this new manager and the whole place is copied on it.
Of course it's addressed to me, but it's like to everyone (the folks), you've seen the tactic before, meant for one but aint got the managerial sack to admit it, goes something along the lines of:
To: Dave (myself@hbca.com)
Cc: Hoopin Big Heldesk Distribution; Joe (JoeBlow@hbca.com)
Subj: Communication
Folks, I have noticed a disturbing trend and I feel I need to nip this in the bud. We are doing way too much communicating with each other. I find this to be a nuissance and downright unprofessional. It is also taking away from the customer and hurting our numbers, but most of all it, is hitting our bottom line. Please do not interrupt people at their desks, if you have something to tell them, please e-mail them. I want to see everyone in their cubes on the phone helping the customer, not conversing with each other. If you have any questions please see your supervisor.

What the hell you came to my cube?
now I wanted to go into his office like a charging rabid rhinocerous and do my best impression of the Tazmanian Devil on his fake oak veneer desk and fake leather chair, I also wanted to light the building on fire, but then I remembered, I have my new job still? why wreck it?
So I left and didn't tell anyone. I went and got a beer next door at the bowling alley. Joe Blow the manager and all the supervisors were there having a meeting. They acted shocked to see me but were very cordial wanting to buy me a beer and all. I asked my supervisor what was up with Joe Blows e-mail and the answer was "what e-mail? I haven't seen it" I told them to check their e-mail when they got back because I didn't think it was very good for them to all be at the bowling alley drinking while everyone else was still at work. The manager told me to get my ass back to work. So I finished my beer and left. I did go back to work, at my new job, on Monday.
Again, this was not real. I am sure glad to be awake!
