My Day

Man, work was rough today, first off I don't like getting up after being there until 9... but I manage... second it was one thing after another, the phones in young people's department weren't working right after we set them up... we had a meeting at 1:30 that lasted almost 3 hours... which is never good.... but we got some stuff done... but after the meeting, it became apparent that my boss isn't being a "good" manager by not knowing what our budget it... now I've never known how much we have to spend for I.T related stuff, which has bugged me, but it's never been that big of an issue... and well, I can't blame him, he was just dumped into being a manager... but he doesn't really have any organization skills, and he doesn't like taking suggestions very well... but I don't know what to do... we'll see.... I mean, I know that I don't know the first thing about being a manager, but really... I know you need a budget and some organization skills... oh well....

The other part that really bugs me is that he doesn't have a priority list of projects with possible finish dates... I've tried to get him to do this several times, but of course he never stays on it... I think he needs to go to some manager training classes, but he won't... oh well, don't know how long I'll be there anyway....

I decided to take an independent study History class... we'll see how well this works... so far so good, I've read the first chapter... so it's hasn't been too bad... my Cisco class doesn't start until the end of September... so I'll try and get a study rhythm for my history class in the meantime....
