Why Must I Work for Idiots
I am so mad at my office's management right now. Yesterday I was told at around 5:00 that we would be returning to New Orleans today. Now our 10-day wasn't supposed to be over until next Wednesday and yesterday during the day we had to stop delineating a site half way through because of a thunderstorm, so returning to New Orleans was not really expected.
You may remember back in March I had talked about our management lying to the client and us being under intense scrutiny with regards to safety. They did it again. And once again we are removed from the project! Why are they unable to see the ramifications of their choices. If we get a bad reputation with clients the work is going to dry up quickly. Plus it's not that hard to report safety incidents in a timely manner. The management seems to be caught up in their belief that we are going to be punished for getting hurt or sick. That's just not true. The client just wants to know about it. Please, giving a call within the hour is not that difficult to do. You would think that people who worked their way up to owning or managing a company would remember that someone always finds out. Secrets and lies just don't work. D
At least being back in New Orleans means that I get to work in the nice air-conditioned office for a few days instead of out in the 90 degree heat with every inch of my body covered as protection against the briars. Also maybe I can convince the lab director that he wants to hire me to analyze historic artifacts. I don't think that's going to happen since my resume and cover letter didn't do the convincing, but who knows.

But, air conditioned offices are cool for the interim.

The air conditioning is mighty nice.
