wolfsbrideAnyway... The day wasn't too horrible. My boss mostly kept to herself. Patting her own back like actually working for a change was a huge accomplishment. Though... I suppose for her it is.
My co-worker was nominally annoying though the fact she has no brain will never cease to frustrate me. I mean seriously.... she asked me what expense to put a parking stub to. Uhh.. PARKING PERHAPS!?!? Just a guess. Bah.
Had another interview. Was supposed to interview two people but the other one got stuck at work. I can so sympathize. Anyway, this whole co-op thing has been mostly frustrating but it's also been interesting too. Its not often you get to see bureaucracy up close and personal. There are so many gaps and duplications and shades of meaning that it's amazing anything ever gets done. Honestly, I'm thinking no wonder politicians go corrupt. It's easier to do that than to try to fix the damn system.
For example, take this issue of the committee having to approve applicants before their names go to the board. On our checklist it says recommend applicant to the Board. Now in my mind if I recommend someone, it means I approve of them. Apparently, that's not the case. The applications of the people we interviewed last week got sent back to us with a note saying they needed to be recommended and approved. Oy vay.
Personally, I don't think it should be our job to approve people. There is information that only Board has access to. And the Board also knows the direction they want to take the co-op in. It makes no sense to me to have us waste our time approving people that may in fact not even meet the requirements of the governing body. If the Board has the final say in all decisions, then they should make the damn decision themselves.
