Make up Your Mind for "Peet's Matt" Sake
Dear Diary,
I don't get it. What do females want? Right when I think I'm doing my job the way my boss wants, she switches things up on me. Is it because I'm a bad employee and I'm walking around with my calculator up my you-know-what? Or is it because I work for a female and she can't make up her mind? It's got to be one of the two and I need to figure out which it is. Because if I don't, "Peet's Matt" will show up one day and solve the problem in a not-so-professional manner.
My job at [...BEEP...] is to spit out a bunch of reports about our mortgage portfolio. I don't like the format of a lot of the existing reports so I've begun trying to change the format. Recently, I tried to make a PowerPoint presentation and my boss shot it down like a helpless duck flying over a pond.
She said she didn't like it because the slides do not allow room for enough information. She's been working at [...BEEP...] for 17 years and I have been here a whopping 5 months. So I took her advice and went back to my "information overload" format.
Today, I get an e-mail that says, "These are great reports. Can you prepare similar charts for us?" I open the attachment and what do I see? A presentation by Washington Mutual that is basically a PowerPoint presentation. What!?! But, but, but didn't you say...?
Aw, forget it.
