(Doctor’s) Orders

Friday June 3rd, 2005 at 16:43pm

Well actually orders from our Operations Manager at work. I’ve literally been ordered to take Monday and Tuesday off work before I have a mini-nervous breakdown. He used to be my boss until I was transferred onto a ‘high-profile’ project, and currently I have no idea who I report to (today I was told it was the Information Systems President in our US office - first time I’ve been told). There is no management of the project, I have about 2 months worth of work to do with a go-live date of 13th June, and I don’t even have a live database (nor a date when it will be turned on). I haven’t got a fucking clue basically of who wants what and when or what I’m supposed to be doing. I’m worrying so much about work that I’m not sleeping properly, I feel physically sick when I get into work and I just don’t want to be there. I thought things were getting better, but they’re not. I just wish I could leave (and I don’t like quitting partway through things). I’m arguing with my boss cos all he does when I tell him how shit and flaky the software is is to make excuses for the vendor and then expects me to come up with technical solutions to make it work. When I do contact the vendor they come up with lines like, “We believe it should...”, what’s all this believe shit, you wrote the fucking thing you ought to know what it does. We’ve paid 2 million US$ for a gold coloured dog turd in my opinion (though that carries no weight). I feel like crying - again : (
