Half Day for me. Woohoo!!

This concept hasn't gone over well at my company. Paperwork gets lost all the time, brain cells get lost, and I wish my coworkers would get lost. Is that too much to ask?

I keep good track of the documents that come into and leave my desk. I use the notes feature on Microsoft outlook and when something is routing, the note is yellow. Once something is completely signed off and put in document control, I change the note color to blue. Simple, but effective. I put the date I passed it to the next person, and who has it next, etc..

This morning I get a call from a guy in doc. control asking me to fill out the proper filing paperwork. Well, if I turned it in, I would've filled out the paperwork. Unfortunately, the big, big boss probably thought he was doing me a favor by taking it over himself instead of returning it to me. I sent him an email asking him to return MY documents to me. I said Doc. Control always loses things and I like to track the documents as they come and go. No response of course. I filled out the paperwork and went on my merry way.

Not one hour later, the little boss asks me for a document. I tell her that the big big boss has it and he's had it since Feb. 08. She tells me to go find it, so I head to the big guy's office and ask him where my document is. He says with a smile 'well, I probably took it over to document control.' I told him that it wasn't funny and that I track everything and if he takes things directly to document control he either needs to tell me about it or just return it to me. I told him to look again on his desk and if he finds it let me know. I don't have time to look for documents that I didn't lose. I'm done working for today, and I doubt anyone will ever find that document. People here suck.

When I was little my dad always said 'If you use something, put it back when you're done with it, so you can find it the next time.' Well, what great words to live by, and that's what I do. I get so frustrated when things aren't where they belong or people have misplaced things because they're idiots. One day maybe someone here will realize I'm always right. Then they wonder why I don't want to be friendly and nice to them? I'm not friendly and nice to people I can't stand. Sorry, it's just not my nature.
