what really really gets me is that the only interest my boss has shown in the whole project is when he suggested an alternate method of doing a process to me that worked better than the method I was using. I had initially attempted to use the method he suggested, but hadn't known how to fix one setting, and it hadn't worked. So when he'd suggested the method to me, I'd told him it didn't work. He'd made me try it again, and I'd noticed the setting and corrected it, so that it worked. Now every time he comes by he makes a point of asking me whether his method isn't better than mine. Simply because I resisted him when he first suggested it.

And his method still isn't that great. It's a bitchy, difficult, repetitive method-- I have to do the same complex fifteen-step task individually for each of 54 separate documents.
"I have a faster way of doing that," he said, but won't tell me any more details.

Our department is grossly overloaded, and I'm doing shit work. But... My time is his money. It bothers me less than it might because my time is his goddamn money, and if he wants to throw it away on power trips, it's his business. Literally-- he owns the business.

So, fine.
