    Assistant Update Day 5 - (mrstjohnson)

    Not really much to report yet this morning; however, she has spent the first hour setting up her electric hot kettle.  Personally, I thought all you had to do was plug them in, but what do I know.  She insists that the Divisional head said she can expense it, so that's between the two of them!

    Well, I met the other new girl...yeah, I am totally switching.  She walked in this morning to pick up her keys etc this morning on time, dressed professional (just to drop off her paperwork) was happy, cheery, a bundle of energy, etc.  Saw the pictures of Riley and Charlie that I have in my office and oohing and aahing over both of them.  I spoke with the Divison head and he is willing to take on Assistant #1 since he "sees" her potential.  Personally I think he was drinking heavily when he hired her (kidding, but yet not) and knows he needs to save face now but doesn't want to screw me over in the process.

    Yay, so glad you are switching!

    I have to LOL at men with big egos that get stuck in the face saving vicious cycle.  He doesn't want to admit he made an error in judgment, so he is willing to suck it up with Unicorn Woman (lol rwbeagles) to prove what again? 

    LOL men are funny.

    LOL, but I think you're probably right.

    I was thinking about your situation last night. I was watching an episode of Criminal Minds. They have this amazing IT type person on the show and she's as bizarre as they come. She wears crazy eyeglasses, carries a theme purse and in the episode I watched last night, she was unpacking odd little trinkets for her desk (they were in a different city than usual). However, with all her quirks, her abilities are amazing and instead of them being a distraction, they add to her character. I know it's TV, but I couldn't help but think that you can get away with being a little odd as long as you're adept at doing your job. Based on what you said, Asst #1 seems more interested in making a nest for herself than digging in and getting the work done. I'm glad you'll get to make the switch.

    That's my Girl Garcia !!!  She so rocks ( yes I know she is a tv charcter) but If I could choose to fill my life with the characters I meet on tv She would so be one of them !!  Her desk junk would never bother me Smile
