I''ve mentioned this before, but the "change" in team for my position is already sucking, badly.
I like a bit of a challenge, and to do something a bit complex. So when someone gives me a list of accounts, and tells me to check them against 100 spreadsheets, i'm hardly over joyed. They only want to know which of the 100 spreadsheets these accounts are on (there is 1 each day, so when did these accounts appear and disappear?).
Quite quickly I send a spreadsheet, dates along the top, the accounts down the left. Each cell is either blank or has "Match" in there, you can now see what days each account was on the sheet.
I then get an email the next day (today). Could I give a total for each day, and how many didn't match. So, my new "boss" who aparantly is a fully qualified statisicion (I can't even spell it, and no, I won't check the spelling, why start now?) needs me to add up some columns of "Match"es. Yet again i'm passed the retarded job a 4 year old could manage, either because Suzanne is being lazy, stupid, or just wanting to impress on me she's incharge of me.
Yesterday there was also a meeting. In true fashion for the company, I was told to attend this meeting, without being told what it was about. After sitting there for an hour and a half, I was asked some questions, so time well spent there. After the first hour of the meeting, most of it was resolved (before I was involved, but I was still sat there). At which point, most people left, IT and me stayed, the idea being that Suzanne would come back in in half an hour, after IT was finished and it came to reporting. I however was based in the other building, and it would be a waste going back and forth.
The half an hour was up, Suzanne never came back, and she wasn't even needed, since it was all about some reports I do. I gave them the information they needed. Job Done.
And just now i've got an email from Suzanne, saying she was waiting to be called back in, when she wasn't (They said she should come back at 12), shes asking for the minutes of the meeting (someone was taking minutes? I didn't notice) and
"and agree on who is the best person to provide me with an update on what was decided regarding data and reporting requirements in my absence"
How is that supposed to be anyone but me?
How can a department I've not even moved to yet already be such a ball ache? I was planning at some point in doing an Access course, then looking for a new job, I think it might be time to crank that up a notch.
