captain_slinky | Day One

The new shift started last night (3:15pm till 11:45pm) and I'm *really* trying to like my new Supervisor but it's just not working. He's one of those guys that you just *know* was told by upper management to "dress a bit more casual" and it just makes him itch. He's a Fox News kind of guy. All day long he kept telling me (jokingly?) that he has his eye on me; he is the supervisor who confronted my OLD supervisor with his concerns about how much time I spend out of my seat. Dude, I had to go to the BATHROOM! You can either give me 5 minutes off the phone to go tinkle, or you can buy me new pants. Choice is yours! And he really is on me like a hawk... I went off the phone to wrap-up some paperwork at the end of a call, and decided to change the channel on the TV at the same time. As I picked up the remote, he was just suddenly THERE, with a "Hey big guy, whatcha up to? I noticed that you're not on the phones. Let's get back on there, okay?"

Drive me friggin NUTS! But, it's only 6 months at the most till our next shift reallignment and I can get someone else.

Don't get me wrong... I still love the job! I just don't like my current supervisor is all.
