~~ the baseball announcing dog from Chicken Little
The other day Buffy and I were discussing titles. Actually it was admin professionals day...Happy Belated to all my fellow admins! Par for the course around here -- no one remembered. And of course I forget every year because it's never mentioned around here (but every other professional day is!!) Doesn't everyone know that Beyonce's (Girls) Run the World is actually dedicated to Admins??!! But I digress...
As a good admin you know pretty much everything -- as a great admin if you don't know it already you know how to find out.
Which leads me to paperweight -- casting shame on the title of admin altogether. Her claim to fame is "I don't know...I"ll ask" and who is she asking?...ME!
I'm so sick of it. Today's example:
"Do you know who so-and-so's exec admin is?"
ME: "No. I'm sure you could look it up on the intranet"
"Oh...yeah...
I just thought you knew off hand." Which is actually her follow up anytime I tell her no.
Truth is...I knew exactly who it was. But I'm not handing her anything anymore! She better learn quick that I am going to answer NO to every damn one of her questions from now on.
"Do you know what day it is?
No, I'm sure you can look it up.
"Do you know what room we're in?"
No, I'm sure you could look it up.
"Did you know that I'm a useless drain on your energy and a waste of resources?"
Well...yes...I did actually. Why didn't you ask me sooner?
