More turmoil...that's just great.
Today was just a bitch of a day. After coming off a great weekend where Laura and I were amazingly productive, I came to work with a hopeful feeling. I am greeted by my supervisor and his boss standing in the hall chatting. My supervisor, the one that is supposed to be teaching me Informatica, brings me outside and tells me that he’s leaving my company. I’m like “freaking great…I couldn’t even get him to help me out and teach me all that much when he was here…now what the hell am I supposed to do?”
Apparently, because he has such a specific skill set, he was a major contributor to the project that I am on, so the client would be very unhappy to have him leave, therefore, his whole departure is going to be quite hush hush. Again, very irritating to me. The other fun part about it being so closed lip is that I’m not supposed to know about this whole change of personnel. Because of the most recent development at my job, and because I have been working here for around a month and haven’t really done anything of value yet, I did what anyone else in my position would do. I complained to a hire up. Well… I wouldn’t say I “complained” but I did send an email to the head supervisor here letting him know what I was up to and that I felt that I could be learning more than I am, so we’ll see how that goes. He said that he’d meet up with me tomorrow morning after he had a chance to talk to the people that were supposedly supposed to be giving me some instruction.
This morning I went to the car rental place to get another vehicle for a week of driving to Long Island for this project. When I got there, they gave me the typical treatment and brought me outside and gave me the choice between three cars:
“Well, there are three choices…you could have the Taurus, the Camry or for $10 more you could have the Dodge Charger.” Yes, it’s true. I took the 240HP jet black Dodge. It’s okay… I think the SRT 450HP version would be a bit more of a thrill, but this one is comfortable and has a decent sound to it right around 4000rpm.
Anyway, it’s about time to get some work done.
