it's rant or explode.
i have been back at work for four days now, and things have been pretty good - until about 45 minutes ago when the superintendent called me to ask about orthotic boots.
we get our boots from a place called dr. 2 shoes, and in order for the inmate to get them, they have to be approved by the utilization review board - which they were. three pairs for three men. turns out, you have to have a justification at unit level to get these things. i think. hell, i don't know! so i ordered them, they came in, i presented the bill to accounting and they wanted a 704. fine, we'll fill one out post purchase - no problem.
UNTIL the superintendent told me - i don't know who ordered them, but i'm not going to approve them.
and i, astounded, said - why NOT? there's a proven medical need for them.
he shouldn't have been talking to me about it in the first place - he should have been talking to my supervisor who was standing in my office at the time and witnessed me losing it.
broadaway, calm down!
he pissed me off!
we walked out of the building together - she was grinning because she's never seen me angry before, and probably thought i had no fire in me at all -
he's interfering with medical care. that is NOT going to happen.

What an idiot! Don't you hate people like that? I don't advocate wasting money but I think I hate more when some tries to power trip because they control the purse strings of an organization.
I hope your rant made you feel better.

Seems like no matter where you work there's always an idiot like that! (Usually a boss!)
