Tyrannical Shrews

There's a woman in this cubicle farm that just gets on my nerves. I don't know why, she seems like she could be perfectly nice outside of the job setting, otherwise her mannerisms and such just bug total crap out of me. She's a manager person and she has her hands in everyone's cookie jar whether it's her department or not. Apparently in her own department over the next cubicle wall, she's told her folks they're not allowed to talk to each other and that they're only supposed to be keying information for vouchers. THAT'S IT! Never mind the fact the OnePurdue has consistently screwed up since they implemented it. Oy-vey, it's a nightmare around here with that damned OnePurdue crap. I'm told it has been working great on the satellite campuses, bully for them, it's not working out well here. I guess my main thought about the annoying manager person is that you don't have be a tyrannical shrew to get results from your underlings. Right? Oh hell yeah!

Many many many moons ago, I worked for a data entry firm that did medical records and stuff. We had hourly quotas to meet each day we were there. That boss didn't allow us to talk either. So we only did the minimum and yelled at anyone new who came in and blasted through projects like there was no tomorrow. It was our passive aggressive way of saying if you let us talk a little, we'll be more than happy to work a little harder for you. I eventually just got a CD player and listened to music all day while working there. I kinda do that here, but it's not quite the same thing. We're allowed to talk in our department and we get lots done when we're here. Go figure. Okey dokey, break time is over and I don't think I'll be back into this one today.

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin…
