Faking It

I just came off a four day weekend and I have three days left this week until I can give my notice on Thursday. This morning my boss came into my cubicle and starts telling me about all the initiatives he wants to start. I found myself staring at him and nodding, but thinking about playing on the Internet, or how I can string this task he just gave me into an all-day project. I know it is terrible, but I have been on the way out for the last 2 weeks, and I just want to start something with some direction! ARGH!

Either way, it is funny how I have to pretend to be a diligent little worker bee in the meantime. I think I'm particularly good at this as my boss loves it when we agree with him. Not only does he love it, but he never follows up on any of those agreements.

For example, he said that he would schedule one of the three people in our group to recon some hedging issues that pop up on a weekly basis. I think he has said this about five times, but never any follow through. So, when I pitch that idea, or bring it back up, he thinks it is great. Then he talks about it for 35 minutes, and then has to go to a meeting, and never brings it up or follows through on the idea. Right now, I'm just killing time.
