"Sorry about the interruption. I had a long talk with Anita that she should call me with these types of issues. I have been on the road and continue to insist that we talk at least twice a day. She is hesitant to call for some reason. She began today giving me lecture about how things are going to be done. I not too gently let her know how I expected things to be done and if she needed me, I would to answer any questions she has. I think that we got through it alright, but I am concerned that she just does not like her job as a litigation paralegal/secretary. She has let me know that she does not work past 5 pm and that she leaves early on Friday. I suggested that she might be in the wrong carrier. (sic) "
This is what my new boss had to say about me after having worked with me for barely a month, and I would say in that whole month, about 6 days in total. He does not show up for work as a good leader should and then, he makes assumptions based on my rejection of his request to base my skill on how fast I can type up his dictation or handwritten notes. I don't understand why the attorneys I have worked with come off as egotistical maniacs, who cannot take correction and exude the whole God-complex. When you see notes like these, no matter how much I try to read his reasons for his assumptions from the badly composed email, I just cannot accept that it is totally wrong, and misinformed, and a strong determinant that it's time to get back to school, get back in the game and aspire for greater things.
I am rambling. Hopefully, this would not read as badly as that note when I read it when my head has cooled.
