I can't believe the turn my job has taken. I now work for the dumb blonde marketing lady - to be known as TDB from here on out. She knows NOTHING about technology and has sold "the old hippie" (the big boss, retiring in 5 years, the one who dodged the draft by being in divinity school and got to his post through nepotism) a bill of marketing crap.I've never worked with anyone in marketing who has a clue about what they are doing. We used to make fun of them in college because it was the easiest major you could get in the school of business.
I'll have to teach ANOTHER boss everything. I'm getting too old for this. Things like, the marketing department is fine if you want a project to take 3 times the amount of time you need. Or facts like, if you want to spend you day explaining things to dumb people, schedule a session with marketing. So I'll be looking and padding my resume in the next year. Looking for a good job. Tough in this economy.
She's a ladder climber and she needs me and that will be expressed to her right off the bat. Nothing she does will happen unless she uses me. I'm sure she's hoping to move into marketing at FrogWarts.
Uggghhh, yes Sh!t does rise to the top, and stupidity is more common than intelligence.

Yes, I saw an ad this week for sales jobs at the paper where I work...their starting salary is $10k more than mine. I am sorta considering asking to be transferred to the marketing department.
I'm with you on 'marketing'. I always thought the people in marketing were inversely proportional to what the title implies...an oxymoron like 'government intelligence' or like I'm reminded by the sign on the counter when I pay my water bill: 'City of Irving Department of Customer Service'
In my experience, marketing people are always hiring other marketing people. Marketing departments meet to decide who to hire for their marketing. Does anybody actually come up with real ideas?
Ready for college football season!!!
