Begone anxiety!
Geez. It's like Monday part two with work BS today. Regular biweekly meeting with Bosslady went fine though I internally eyerolled that she didn't do any of the things that she said she'd do from the last meeting. I had to write an email for her to send to a faculty member to put the thumbscrews to them to either send me what I need to get her a USDA approved project or we're going to remove her from the group she joined because said projects has human subjects concerns.
Then there's the other faculty member trying some shit trying to buy something expensive for her project that Bosslady had me check out and I found suspicious. I also found many reasons why it didn't pass the smell test and said faculty member sent a shittygram with a pissy high-handed tone. Bosslady did NOT like that and told me on our call. I laughed and told Bosslady that it only confirmed my suspicion that she was trying something shifty and that she wasn't going to get her way as a result. Seems like Bosslady rejected her request since I got an email from the business person from that department saying this - edits in italics mine, obviously:
Diane,
I understand from (pissy faculty member), (Research Director Bosslady) declined to sign the equipment form.
Please provide some insight why?
Thanks,
HAHAHAHA.Riiiiiiight. Like you're not going to just forward the email to said faculty member? You think this is my first rodeo? My answer:
Hi (Business person trying shady shit),
I can't speak for (Bosslady), though she did have some concerns about whether the request applied to this project.
Also, regardless of the allowability of the purchase within the context of the project, as far as I know it was made too close to the end of the fiscal year for the costs to have hit the ledger in time as it is.

Gonna piss off that faculty member even more that she's on the list of ne'er-do-wells that has been reporting less than 10% effort on their projects and isn't going to get their $5K in extra money this coming year. Ooopsie poodles! So there's going to be THAT to look forward to. Sigh
Also, yes, I'm paranoid now that I might have fatty liver disease. Because put something in my brain that's plausible and boy howdy does it RUN with it. Bahh.
