You know that there's something weird when you go into your first day of work in a new job, and, by 10am, you've somehow become embroiled in an argument between two of your managers.

Manager one: Hello... I need you to send some e-mails for me.
Becky: No problem! *Eager smile*
Manager one: I'll just leave this tape for you.
Becky: *Runs tape*
Audio thing: "Please send an e-mail to [Manager 2] asking him why he felt it justified to authorise this validation
when it's against company policy. Ask him to send the explanation to my e-mail address."
Becky: Um...okay.
Manager 2: Sends reply to me. I do not recall authorising anything.
Becky: Um...
Audio thing: Now please ask him to finish off this letter, and tell him it needs doing now. Underline now. Bold it!
Becky: Umm.... *sends e-mail*
Manager 2: THIS WAS DONE.
Becky: Waaaah! Convinced that am going to be asked to fetch some invisible ink, or elf shoes next...
Audio thing: Could you please ask Manager 2 to get on top of this case and--
Becky: Wanders off to make coffee, somehow stopping at desk of colleague.
Colleague: Yes?
Becky: *looks helpless* I have... a problem.
Colleague: I'll sort it.
Becky: Result! skips off to lunch.

See, this is why I'm a crap employee. Eh.

Also, no internet at work. No mailage! Damned IT department... I should just take up smoking in order to get some skiving time in.

Apart from that... I'm pretty damned content. :p

Oh Dear, sounds like your new work place suffers from major communication problems within management. How does it feel to be a human ping-pong ball, batted from one manager to the next?

Oh, just great. The adrenaline rush of panic makes the day worthwhile! ;)

Yes, I think we should all take up smoking. They seem to get more breaks. Hmm, but they die first!! At least you have some entertainment in your day with your management. My managers are all cods. Not to be confused with C.O.D. :p
