My Boss is killing me...

KevinNU7 · 02-14-2007, 06:23 PM

Started at 6AM. Still plugging away. All due to the fact that he doesn't allocate his time properly and I am left with days twiddling the thumbs and then random 12+ hour days for big deadlines.

KevinNU7 · 02-14-2007, 06:24 PM

The fact he is in Cincinnati and I am in Boston doesn't help. I am done with my piece of a project and am waiting on him to review. We need it for an 8AM meeting

Sounds like my old advisor. Sometimes I think he never outgrew being a college student, putting things off to the last minute. He was notorious for writing conference papers (usually due at least a month before the conference) while on the plane en route to the conference.

Good luck.

My boss just does delegate well. And if ask for clarification on a project and tell him I can not advance without it he will say, "Ok, I need to run that by my boss." And then it will take days for him to do it even if I prompt daily.

That doesn't sound so bad. Drowning or death by fire would be much worse. At least you can cruise the internet.

Oh, my thoughts are with you as you pass to a higher plane of existence.

KevinNU7 · 02-14-2007, 08:23 PM

lol, thanks

It's bad when you have a 1 year old and a wife trying to study for the bar everynight but can't start studying until you can watch the baby. And she needs to study 6+ hours per day.

You don't need to study THAT much for the bar to pass.

Wow... 6+ hours a day.

KevinNU7 · 02-14-2007, 08:34 PM

3 hour DVDs per day + "homework" is probably 4-5 hours. Then she wants to add on for index cards and the like too.

Might sound excessive but she went to law school in Massachusetts and needs to pass the Ohio bar so there is alot in the essays that she was never taught in law school

I wouldn't mind busting my ass at work, knowing that I could retire in a couple years once my wife became a gainfully employed lawyer.
