Snakes I'd never thought that about you :) I hear you about benefits, I have a child that needs lots of medical attention so I guess I'll have to stay under the radar and everyone else's thoughts...
Finally free, your it director sounds exactly like mine, lol. He's very demanding and unreasonable with pretty much everyone but me. Actually he's an elder and yet doesn't know i'm d'fed. He called me afterwards to find out what happened and I asked him just to leave things as is because nothing will get solved...
My immediate supervisor, our 'project lead' is pretty much dead weight and the network admin feels the same way, this guy's been here for 2-3 months and he either passes on his projects to the network admin, or disregards stuff so that me and the network admin pick up the slack and has been giving the same updates for the last 3-4 weeks... unbelievable... he's technically savyy and yet I'm sure he's frightened of not knowing processes and how things work cause as soon as he got there he said he would change everything from active directory to scripts, printer mappings... go figure
