Stupid Office Politics

[Betty]

I just want to update everyone. The new person, our "buyer", had computer troubles... with her monitor. After 4 hours of her "handling" it, she determined it was the monitor and went out and bought a beautiful 19" flat screen that's about twice as much as what we usually pay for the 17" ones we get elsewhere. Come to find out, she was told that we already had another monitor (just not a flat screen) and she could come upstairs and get it. Further, she was told by her supervisor to wait until morning. She did neither... after a little investigating all that came out. That was the icing on the cake for me. I couldn't hold my tongue any longer.

So, guess who's got a pretty new monitor? Yep. That'd be me, my friends.

We then went on to meet with her brother, our new computer guy. Guess who he's reporting to? Me me me. To help lesson the possible conflict of interest of the bro/sis thing... and I'm still doing what I've always been doing, in-house IT wise. Once I started talking to my boss (her boss is the same person) it turns out that her comments about me not doing IT stuff anymore came from her - not from anyone else! What's up with that.

so - yesterday was a GREAT day!
