My Understudy
Wednesday, August 30, 2006
I thought that I should introduce my understudy here so that if ever I hate my name, you would know that she was the reason for my hatred.Of course, it is also necessary to mention that if my IT knowledge has improved or if I ever go into the IT line, it's all thanks to her.
For time saving purposes, let's just call her RS.
When she cannot log in to the Citrix network.
RS:"Ivy!"
When an error message pops up.
RS:"Ivy!"
When she cannot drag a promo into the log.
RS:"Ivy!"
When an error message pops up.
RS:"Ivy!"
When she don't know her password.
RS:"Ivy!"
When's there's no green blob on the tape icon.
RS:"Ivy!"
When an error message pops up.
RS:"Ivy!"
When there's missing material.
RS:"Ivy!"
When there's no missing material.
RS:"Ivy!"
When an error message pops up.
RS:"Ivy!"
When she needs to check how to do something even though she has written it down before.
RS:"Ivy!"
When she's not happy that I asked her to find out something for herself.
RS:"Shit!"
When someone replies to RS' email to ask her to give the channel and month that she wants.
RS:"Ivy! So I email her the channel and the month?"
Me (In my mind):"No. You can email her what you had for dinner last night."
When something is needed by 6pm Singapore time, she goes for lunch first even though she won't be able to finish it on time.
When I ask her to open the clarity file. She stares at me blankly for 3 seconds before my words register and she goes and open the file.
When I tell her to do something. I must do it step by step. For example, open your My Documents folder, double click on the file, click on the row, go to the tool bar, click Table, select Insert, select Rows Below. Then I must point to where I am talking about or else she cannot find it.
Now we even have a board to tell them when they must complete their logs and when to download. Of course, like everyone else here, the timeline is never followed.
To think yesterday, her Associate Director said I hired you for your brains. Hmm...food for thought.
