I am going to rant some more.. I hate my job. I don't know how I am going to make it 10 years to retirement.

- My boss has been on the job for 2 years and I am sick of him. He cannot seem to remember the slightest thing. We have time pressure things and I have asked in the past for him to decide them ahead of time but he can't. So we end up when the clock is ticking having long conversations on the meaning of life. He is the boss... so I defer to him but then he says, you tell me. Well if I am telling you what to do.. why are we even having a conversation? Plus a lot of times he turns around and acts like I am bossing him around when he asks me. But obviously he just doesn't really understand. He will raise issues that aren't relevant so he can seem like he knows stuff.

- I am beyond tired of dumb questions. People call me constantly with stupid questions. And they never get the hint. If they call with a dumb question and I don't call them back, don't call again... also, the bain of my existence is phone tag. My e-mail is publicly available but they refuse to write the question because they want to have a conversation I cannot refute.

- I am tired of my day being ruined by other people who refuse to do theirs. Yesterday I received a call at 4:10; no message. I received another at 4:15. Same number. No message. Next thing I know all my bosses are in my office telling me someone has been trying to reach me. Errr.. not too hard. No message left no e-mail. I am told I have two urgent things... but no one has checked any of it for accuracy. When I discover the facts of the matter none of it is true. Is it really so much to ask that people be accurate before losing their minds like chicken little?

- I am tried of my boss doing things like this... I am about to enter something that says *blah blah blah* and he wants to check it. So I send it to him after drafting it... and he returns it to me with like one change which is stupid anyway... such as adding a date to the line but the date was listed earlier in the memo. He is a control freak with nothing to add.

- after two years I thought I would get MORE freedom. Even though he says I do a good job, and I get good reviews and frankly I am just as qualified as him, he is becoming a crazy control freak as to me while the rest of the team needs the discipline. I suspect it is because my job by and large is easier and thus it is easier to make comments.

And I feel bad about saying any of this because he is a generally nice fellow, but I am already annoyed.
