DL's PCOTD

She did it again! She gave me a little nugget of pure unprofessionalism, albeit a tiny one this time.

Background: DL's under the gun to train a bunch of big wigs on how to use a particular accounting program we use here at The Office. She's on a phone call discussing how she's going to go about training them - most likely with someone above her - and the topic of her drafting up a power point slide show comes up....and......go!

"Listen, I've got to keep it simple. I'm not a Fancy Power Point Person....I don't have time to figure that out."

A.) She has an assistant who she utilizes to make copies and ship things...if she let her assisant develop professionally, she could have her assistant do the Power Point slides and never let anyone above her know that she doesn't know how to use Power Point...being an employee of the company for over 20 years.

B.) WHO TALKS LIKE THAT in a professional setting?!?!!

siiiiiiigh.

okay more later. just had to document that before i forgot to.
