i revise my statement.
PEOPLE NEED TO EAT A HOGSHEAD* OF D!CKS!!!
*(yes, i realize this measurement is for liquid and not d!cks, but if you picture a 55gal drum of d!cks in "lite syrup", you get the idea.)
1) i didn't get to eat lunch until 2pm today, and as soon as i started eating, i had someone over at my desk bugging me "...i know you are eating, but i need your help.. URGENT..." She's brand new, and could probably have handled on her own, but i took pity on her and helped. She doesn't report to me, but is part of my support staff, so i needed to make sure issue was handled.
2) trying to educate engineers on their process. this should not be necessary, and is a complete waste of time.
3) i do not get paid enough for putting up with this crap.
