I am on the wine already. GAH!
Today someone rang me. I met up with her two months ago to find out the requirements for the new IT system her department need. The boss is meant to OK or refuse these requests, once I've done the scoping and written it up. He didn't. I had a week off (in June!!) so forwarded it to his boss (he was off sick or something I think) to speak to him about as I was going to Glastonbury and didn't want to leave it hanging. She forwarded it to him to allocate a resource to work on the project. Goes without saying he did nothing.
The woman who I originally met rang me that week to ask what was happening as she had to update her dept at their monthly team meeting. I explained it was awaiting a staffing resource.
She rang me again today, as another month has passed and she needs to update her dept on why nothing has happened. I didn't know what to say. I look ***, don't I? I'm not.
I forwarded the email his boss had sent him saying to allocate the resource, explaining what had happened today. She said as he has said he'll deal with it, she will ask him what's happening. I couldn't bear to ask him as he will read the email, come and lean on my desk with both hands and lean right forward and complain that it's held up by something I should have done.
This afternoon we had a team meeting and he nearly made me sick by running his long nails over and over the pull-down projector screen thing in the meeting room. He shouted at everyone for an hour then I ate a biscuit, some chocolate and a cake ?
I am also having some unrelated trouble at work with someone on a personal level which has been stressing me out but I think that is getting sorted too.
On the up side, I applied for a project manager job two bands above what I'm doing now (project support) and have an interview on Monday! It's 35 miles away for another hospital so I'd have to give up my lovely cycle to work but who gives a ***, I might be able to escape! ?
