Death to the Easel and Flip Chart!
I went through months of altercations with my boss over the ordering of an easel. First, she was upset I didn't just pick and easel and order it. Then she was upset I consulted a man in the office who seemed to be knowledgeable about easels and showed her the one he suggested. She said I thought he was the boss instead of her. She finally picked an easel she wanted; however, there was then a staff meeting where everyone was fighting over what kind of easel they needed. So I held off. I then got blamed for wanting an easel another guy in the office really suggested. This guy could care less about having an easel and had not suggested any easel. I was accused of thinking he was really the boss. I finally ordered the easel. The wrongly accused guy joked, "Finally, my easel has shown up!" The easel sat for several months. Finally, my boss told me to get it out and put it up. Naturally, in our crowded office, there was nowhere to put it, but up it went. It has a white board, but I also mounted our partially used flip chart. My boss has not stopped since. Every night there has been a meeting keeping employees very late. Employees have just started putting on their coats and trickling out. Still, every morning, I come in to pages and pages of diagrams. Yesterday, I found it curious that one of the work studies has been working such late hours. Last night, I got caught at one of the meetings where my boss continues to perform as employees trickle out. As I finally put on my coat to trickle out, the work study student was still there glued to my boss's performance. Now I understand. Easy money for the work study student sitting there providing an audience every evening!
