[Work] Amused Now

hkellickSo I've spoken, in the past, about the fact that I wasn't, apparently, trained well and now management is trying to figure out how to train me to get me up to speed.
So, I went up to K yesterday and told her this, and she listened, thought about it and decided, on Thursday, that I would do the following: take some more AD letters, go through everything and write down what you think you need in a letter, if anything. Then sit down with a Team Lead and discuss the case.
No problem. Completely agree. Let's do it.
I get a case, go through it, and knock on K's door about 8:00 to tell her I was ready to talk to a team lead.
So K calls around.
Now, to back up the story a little, I've had some continuing personality issues with N. N and I are too much alike and tend to get on each other's nerves, whether we mean to or not.
So, of course, K calls me back into her office at 9 and tells me N will be looking over my case. She wants me to be attentive, ask questions and reminds me to be professional and try not to argue with N. Which I agree to. She has apparently asked N to do the same thing: be specific, attentive and professional.
So I email N, we get together and we go over the case for about an hour and a half. It was honestly good. I learned a few things. I know where I stand on this case and, though the requestor will be SERIOUSLY pissed, this case, itself, will be the better for it.
So.. I go to sit down and start writing the letter. I pull out my IPod, hit play, go for three minutes.. and E appears.
E pulls me into the coffee room and begs me to tell him how I got N to be nice to me! And then regales me with the continuing saga about some completely fucked up case that N has in review.
Mostly, I think E just wanted someone to hear his story and be sympathetic, but I can't help but be amused. Especially as a few weeks ago, E told me that he and N had figured things out and were better now.
OK, off to write a 316-AD letter and try to stay warm :)
