I hate my boss. And the worse thing is that he is not the demanding, strict, picky, moody kinda boss that everyone loves to hate. He can be rather nice and understanding sometimes. And plus he does not pile me with lotsa work but I still hate him and he really is starting to irritate the hell out of me. I hate it when he waits till just before lunch time or just before I finish work to give me work. I mean he has the
WHOLE FREAKING day to give me work and I have been sitting there for 8 hrs thinking of ways to while away my time and he comes and give me work at like 5:10. That really makes my blood boil. I think he gets a little scared of me sometimes cos it really shows on my face when I am irritated and I think he gets the idea and he will then come and tell me that the work is not important and I would not have to finish it today. I actually like and yearn to be given work now. I mean there is only so much you can surf in one day right? And I do not mind my boss giving me work but what I cannot stand is him giving me work at a point when my mind is already set on going out and I am not expecting any work. I would not mind him giving work to me at any other time, I would in fact welcome it readily. And because I am someone who can only leave work when I have finished what I have been assigned for the day, I will usually stay on and finish the work before going home so this issue of giving out work just before knock-off time really irks me. Being snatched of the freedom of going home to rest and do whatever you want besides pretending to look bz by surfing the net is indeed painful.
I also hate the fact that he is not sure about the work he assigns me. He keeps changing his mind about things he wanna do and things he wanna add and since he usually makes me do research on potential clients, this usually means that I have to re-visit all the corporate websites AGAIN just to get that 1 additional piece of information that he thinks would be nice to have. It could also be perhaps of his lack of confidence and sureness about what he wants me to do that makes me despise him. He certainly does not act like a VP and the work that he does is not exactly the job scope of a very important person. I hate working aimlessly without a end goal in mind and I often feel that he does not know enough about the end product that he wants to give me directions on how to go about achieving it. Perhaps I am demanding too much..this is after all only an internship. Maybe he does not expect me to do too much.
He has one of the slackest jobs that I know. Comes to work at 9:15 and finishes at 530 to 6. Spends quite a fair bit of time reading newspapers and doing work for his church. Only makes calls to clients and checks emails occasionally. But yet he acts as if he has the weight of the world upon him, as if the job that he is holding demands a hell lot of stress and thinking when in fact it doesn’t. If I have to hear him go
Oh dear, Oh dear.. or Dear Dear me as if the world is coming to an end, I swear I will strangle him. I did not hear any of these from the PWC people and they work like a gazillion times harder than him.
Grrr..I am so glad that my internship is ending soon if not the day where I strangle him to death will surely come (as you can see I am easily irritable and violent tendencies are common when I am irritable so a word of advice STAY AWAY from me when I am in a grouchy mood). Am quite disappointed that I did not learn anything at all, at least I know now that I am not cut out for PR. Btw, I asked him about leaving a week earlier and he said we will play by ear and see if I really need to take leave to get my visa done.
Went out with AH gals for dinner. Was quite fun catching up with them. My dear gals always had such exciting and fun lives that I live mine vicariously through theirs. Haha, we must meet up more often and hear more of those drama mama stories from Chits. Its great that we can still meet and chat despite meeting up only once or twice a yeat. Hope that we can have a full reunion with Van and Banu soon. If you are reading this, come back soon. We need to have a REAL class gathering. Its pathetic the way the class gathering attendance never exceeds 4 haha. But yah I am still glad that we are still keeping in touch with each other and getting 6 mths update about each other whenever we meet even tho some of us may be halfway across the world. I love my gal pals, nothing beats chilling up and catching up with a bunch of friends whom you have not met for a long time. So yah the gathering sorta got rid of my moodiness and grouchiness.
Dear God, please give me the patience to deal with my boss and to accept him for who he is. Do not let me kill him before the internship ends. I need to control my anger. Pls help me.
