Interesting academic article about slash that's probably not of interest to anyone but me. I heart meta. And Henry Jenkins. Why didn't I go to MIT and major in Comparative Media Studies?
And in other news, my boss's boss is an asshole. Well, actually he's incredibly patronizing and condescending which is a subtle difference. Not that this is news, since most of you have heard me bitching about him for the last four weeks (aka, since he got here).
Today he was asking my boss (whom I adore) why there is so much crap lying around behind the counter, basically. Umm, possibly because there's nowhere for it to go?
Oh, and my favorite thing he's done to piss me off *today* is after my Boss and my sort-of-boss left to go to the mall for a little while, leaving me running the office alone, he wandered out of his office and as he was walking by the counter to leave, he oh-so-politely observed, "So, they just... left you alone? They must really trust you." I sort of mm-hmmed and tried not to physically hit him. Stupid jerk. What exactly is that supposed to imply? And then he went on to say something about being nice to customers because he doesn't want people to get mad at us, which is also the reasoning he gave for undermining my boss's authority and rolling back a policy we put in place last semester to try and stop people from abusing their damn ID cards. As though he knows *anything* about the way this office runs. Grr. He just really pisses me off. It's getting to the point that his presence grates on my nerves regardless of if he even opens his mouth.
He's the boss of way more than our office, so why did *we* have to get stuck putting up with him all the time? Can't they put his office somewhere nice and far away? Like the moon?
And this is not just me being randomly bitchy. Everyone I work with and everyone I know who's had any dealings with him agrees that he's overbearing and condescending.
This is mostly just driving me crazy because 90% of the time, I *like* my job, and most of that other 10% is just when my alarm is going off at 7:30 AM. But he's making me not want to be at work, which pisses me off. I don't like to let other people manipulate me that way. Bastard. *grr*
And why hasn't my damn MP3 player gotten here yet? *cries*

And the thing that pisses me off most is that they spent *months* looking for someone to fill this position, and then ended up hiring someone who has worked at the university before and they *knew* was a jerk!

Get better, okay? It's very difficult for us rape and pillage you when you don't feel good.
