I think about how much my life has changed in one short year. I was desperate to get a job, and now a job I have. I had a fantastic manager for several months. However, she has moved on and I am now stuck with Professor Umbridge as a manager. I'm not kidding. She really is.
It'd be one thing if I didn't love my company and my job. But I do. I have to find a way to work with a woman who is so insecure in her knowledge that she makes and sticks to arbitrary positions even when she has been proven wrong. She has the "because I am the manager you must stick to my decision" policy. She has to write a policy and procedure, or as I like to refer to them, "educational decree," for EVERYTHING. I'm sure she'll enact a schedule for 15 minute bathroom breaks before it is all over.
The worst is that everyone outside the department thinks she is God's gift. She has taken self-promotion to an art form that Don King would be envious of. I feel like the guy in the cartoons who found the singing frog. He knows it sings, he has seen it sing. However, when anyone else sees the frog, it ribbits with the best of them. That's how I feel. I know she is a lying lady. I've seen her lie. But no one else has seen it or can sense the con artist in her.
