Remember how on Friday I wrote about my woes at work? Today I got an email from my new 'partner' who was replying to an email I sent her on Friday. Here's how it began: 'Thanks Christine.' Yep, once again she called me Christine. Where in the world is that coming from? Tomorrow I'll have to set her straight.
Today my boss, just back from a 2 week vacation to Alaska, held a meeting for my team to see how things are going with the new consultants and if there are any risks. I let my co-worker Diala speak first and luckily she's having a little bit easier time with her new 'partner' than I am. When it came to my turn I started with 'I don't know where to begin.' In as diplomatic a way as humanly possible, I spilled my guts. It wasn't pretty. I told him how I was near tears trying to figure how it was going to work, going backwards after all the progress we had made. I let him know I felt the project was in jeopardy of not meeting deadlines and sliding backwards. I think he had an inkling that my gal wasn't going to work out. He's going to have a talk with the boss of the new consultants and we're meeting tomorrow to discuss our roles and responsibilities, something I kept reiterating was lacking on their end.
No doubt this will make things uncomfortable and no doubt she will be calling me something besides Christine.......
