 Gar! Thar be pirates.

September 27, 2006 at 8:36 am  |  work, rant

I may have said something about Jefe and I going over to the university proper to do some Labview coding.  This is intented to be something we can do on the side to make a little bit of beer/video game money.  Anyway, there is a person on campus, whose job it is to make sure that labs there have the equipment and knowledge to do the shit people do in labs (experiments and stuff).  He is the person we are working for and he is kind of difficult to work with.  When he is in the room, he hovers over your shoulder touching things, poking the screen and taking the keyboard away from you.  He even sat on my foot!  He questions everything you do and wants to do everything his way.  Basically he is a typical micromanager.

Have any of you had to work with these kind of people?  How do you get through it?  We find that if we just wait til he leaves the room we can usually hammer out any problems, but nothing can really get done while he’s hovering there.
