I swear to g-d if I become an alcoholic I know exactly what client is getting my rehab bills!!!
fucking christ.
in other work related news, apparently the new management buzzwords for 2007 include things like account managers are no longer account managers they are Client 'Relationship Managers' and now we're not task/result focused, we're analingus focused... oh wait I'm sorry dedicated to building relationships with our clients while still taking care of tasks/results but just not being very focused on them as we're now focused on building relationships because the ability to have a nice chat with a relationship manager is what makes us better to our clients than our competitors might be . But wait I'm still an associate account manager and not an associate relationship manager so does that mean I get to be a miserable task oriented behind the scenes bastard and keep my dignity? Please let it be so, I don't want to manage relationships I just want to do my job and help my clients make money off suckers... I mean customers. I hate management buzzwords, its the reason I was widely hated when I took that management course.
It's times like these I wonder why I didn't go into programming. because at no one expects programmers to manage relationships.
You never heard me bitch about our company's corporate excitement for 2007, Nope I'm just keeping it to myself and waiting for 2008 when the newest management theories are focusing on tasks and results again. That's what I'm doing.
I want a corporate wellness nurse. My dad said the place he works has a corporate wellness nurse on staff, which is a buzzword for psychiatrist, but that the only people who use her are the owners and the owner's wife. I find that fucking hysterical. We could get one and put her in the mailroom. (the thing about the mailroom is that it's no longer the mail room, we've grown too big too fast for our area of the building so they took the tiny narrow little mailroom and have stuck 3 computers in it and expect to cram three poor souls in there, and it keeps wobbling between who's going to be stuck there, right now it's on three new programmers, but it may be the three new aams who are supposed to let the relationship managers neé account managers manage those relationships and not concern themselves with tasks. As long as it's not me we'll be allright. The only way I want to spend all day in a mailroom with someone else is if that someone else is the programmer I am smitten with.
