Connie Made Me Cry.
The last person who made me cry in a work related capacity was Rip Torn.
Ya know, I thought I was impervious to her temper. I thought I didn't care when she yelled and screamed and accused me of fucking up everything all the time. I thought that I didn't care when she judged me solely on the last thing I did - only when it is a mistake - and doesn't think about any of the things I took care of for her aside from that one thing. She just pushes and pushes and gets so angry and doesn;t censor herself at all. I know that is wrong. I know that is unprofessional. I know that is why most of the people in this office hate her. I also know that she can;t always mean it. I know that it is just her being stressed out. I thought I knew how to brush it off but I guess this morning it was just too much.
Connie doesn't care about anyone's time but her own. Yesterday, in the span of 9 hours (I worked 8-6 yesterday and I mean I fucking WORKED)I made 54 packets, made travel arrangements for like 5 legs of a trip including for a building model, found her any image that she decided she wanted (I was fielding requests like, "I want pictures of Board members doing stuff), I helped with her Powerpoint presentation, I briefed her on the Board Retreat tomorrow, I dealt with private jets and airports. I dealt with Beverly Hills security and a very whiny French assistant in New York. Now, in all of the stuff I had to do over the course of yesterday, I would say about 90% of it could have been doen over the course of last week if Connie had just taken 10 seconds to make decisions, or at least tell me to do stuff!! The ground transportation arrangements?? Like she didnt know she needed that before?? She is so secretive about her shit then expects me to know what I am supposed to do. WTF???
I don;t know how much longer I am going to last here. I will stay until I get my friggin' retroactive raise from OCTOBER and then the planning continues. I am sure I am not going anywhere... I will just whine about it and keep taking it. Pathetic.

Want me to kick her ass for you?
Cuz you know I will...
or you can try the link...
Why do you think I left? She gave me such shit for giving a month and a half notice! I remember she gave me shit, because I fucked up a big binder presentation which she knew she would need weeks in advance, but basically warned me the day before that I would need to do it. When I couldn't finish it in time she got mad for utilizing everyone else in the office, even though they all had their own projects done. Retroactive raise? Fuck man, I was there for 2 years and never got any kind of raise. Hang in there!
