I'm being to have a day similar to the episode 'Krusty Love' in Spongebob Squarepants. My boss tells not not to work on anything else but this new system which has to be complete for Monday and in the next breath he asks me to work on something else, then we asks me what on I'm working on and say the 'Something else' he promptly me asks to go back to getting the new system ready for Monday. This has happened 6 times this week. My poor head is spinning. :rolleyes:

I feel for you. Years ago, when 8inch floppies were seen as modern, I had a boss called Kevin. Someone gave him a book called "The Art of Headless Chicken Management" - I assume it was a joke, but he followed it religously. I had six projects on the go. Company rules: All project info and source, etc to be kept in a single file, stored in the fire safe when not being actively used. I would arive at 9 am, get the file, start working out what to do. Kevin would turn up - "What are you doing?" "Project A" "Why? You should be on Project B". Tidy up what I was doing, take it to the firesafe, check it in. Get Project B. Start working out where I was, look at what I have to do. Kevin would turn up - "What are you doing?" "Project B" "Why? You should be on Project C". And so on, depending on which irrate customer had just called him. This went on, every hour of every day, until I applied for, fought for, and got redundancy. X|

Surely it's easy to be made redundant, just don't turn up.
