What's a 'pass-off dept'??

Good afternoon.Back from the dead. Had a procedure. The prep and anesthesia knocked me silly for a bit. Back to Abnormal for now.
Happy Hump day!

Others perceive something as not their job, so it gets passed off to me. OR someone receives a request to do something, they don't know what to do, so they pass the request off to me with no regard whether I have any knowledge or not. Asking for help would go a long way with me vs pass offs.

I'm not a supervisor or manager. I'm a worker-bee just like the pass-off'ers, I just take the time to handle all the BS.

I thought I was the only one that had this job

Mr Twisty that video clip is depressing! That is a pretty funny movie, but not that part. True, but not funny.

I had a very busy morning then only one client showed up all afternoon. Sooooooooooo, I left work early & skipped dance/exercize class. Feels kind of weird being home early.

It seems the new corporate America has manufactured this position.

Are you sure we don't work at the same place?

My team and I are thrust in the role of training people on how to use some of the software we support; there is not a training department for this stuff and their managers don't know (or care); I easily spend 20% of my time training people on the front end or I get to fix the propblems they create on the back end.

What really grates on me is when some pompous ^&%$ actually thinks and expects me to do his job. Fortunately for all involved, this happens very infrequently and virutally every time, it was a man .

I'm just crabby. This promises to be the support and on-call week from hell and won't be over til next Tuesday . Rant over.

Happy Hump Day Evening all.

On a postive note, my RX Catch Can and Breather (color matched, of course ) arrived today. After on-call concludes next week, I'm taking my car in to have it and my JBA Shorties installed. Wooooohoooooo

Sky man, glad to see you are feeling better.

LBM, I'm glad you're weekend is here. Are you doing Camaros in the Sand this weekend?

Diane, no surprise that it's more expensive to fly into LV than LAX. When are you visiting your son in Barstow?

[SSBUSDRVR]

Sure seems like it.

Today I had to endure the scrutiny of three managers reviewing a passed off file. Seems they were OK with someone passing it off to me, but not OK with my thinking on how I handled it. I used to fire back with guns blazing, but not anymore. Being outnumbered 3 to 1, I would have lost that battle.

I've learned to never back down from what I believe is right and, ultimately, agree to disagree with them.

I suppose they will learn to leave me alone sooner or later.

Go Goodlettsville, TN Beat Sanantonio, Tx! Who will win? Congratulations to both little league teams for getting this far. Of course you know who I'm rooting for. Just could not resist the urge to post up here. It is soooooooooo cool to have a team from just down the road from me doing this well. I know SanAntonio, you are proud of your boys too. The game is on ESPN right now. Check it out!
