Ruth asks…
Did the CIA coerce the confession from Pete Rose?
I heard that he confessed to cutting Daniel Pearls head off.
I still think Pete should be in the Hall of Fame, after all Ty Cobb kidnapped Lumberg‘s baby and he was allowed in, and look at OJ, he recently wrote a book about how he shot JR and he’s still in.
Mike answers:
No, it was the Taliban.
Mark asks…
I did not put a cover sheet… ?
I didn’t put a cover sheet on my TPS report, and Lumberg is on his way over what do I do?
Mike answers:
Switch the TV off or press pause on the DVD player .. LOL
Laura asks…
IS Office Space the greatest movie in the World?
Not right now Lumberg, I got a meeting with the Bobs!
Thank you for saying I am a little kid… 
but I guess my first office job was back in 1981 or 82….This movie hits home on everything!!!
Jump to conclusions! Better than the pet rock idea!!
“You are a very bad man, Peter!”
“How can these stupid Neaderthals mafia guys be so good at crime, and smart guys like us can suck so badly at it!”
Mike answers:
I loved that movie *LOL*
“Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler…”
Ken asks…
Dealing with a whiney boss?
I have this boss that is really starting to anger me.
Every single day she complains to me about something I’m doing wrong… and its not just once it is about 2-3 times a day.
About 95% of the time I’m just in awe thinking to myself “seriously? you really had to speak up about something like that?”
Example… “You know your really starting to slack when it comes to how clean the coffee maker is” When it is just about spotless.
Or on days when I’m really busy she says I’m not doing anything. It kind of reminds me of lumberg on Office Space. “I’ve got the memo right here and the TPS reports don’t go out until tomorrow so its not even a problem”… “Well the problem is now were putting cover sheets on the TPS reports, I’ll make sure I get you another copy of the memo”
Really? did you hear nothing I just said?
How do you deal with a boss like that?
Mike answers:
You should set an appointment to meet with your boss to discuss your concerns with her style of communications. By setting an appointment, this will allow you time to compose a mental (or written list) of concerns you have. It will also prevent you from getting into a defensive confrontation when she does “complain” to you.
Let her know that there were a few things that you were concerned about and want to have a touchbase about your performance. Let her know what you need as an employee to be motivated and to accomplish what you need to do in a timely manner. (i.e. If she is concerned that you aren’t going to meet a deadline with a report that “needs to go out tomorrow”, offer to update her at a certain time of the day on your status.) Would it help if her to know what you’re working on by statusing in the morning to let her know what you want to accomplish that day and where you need her support, etc.,etc. With my team, I would do a quick five minute touchbase to find out what they are working on and if I thought something was more of a priority I would let them know. (This might help with her perception that you’re “not doing anything”.)
In the end you might find out that how you’re feeling when she makes those comments were never her intentions. (Most of the time people don’t stop to listen to what they sound like.)
If she values you, she will take the time to meet with you and hopefully change her communication style. Good bosses are open to upward feedback.
Hope this helps!!
Chris asks…
don’t you hate it when?
People try talking like Bill Lumberg from office space and they end up sounding dumb
Mike answers:
I know. It’s almost as annoying as getting memos about putting cover sheets on TPS reports.

Who Am I?
I'm Mike Williams and I'm a big fan of pole barn buildings. I gave the garage back to my wife's car when I finally build myself a workshop using simple pole barn plans.
