Oh, we use a routing slip... but my boss doesn't have the sway that the Director does, and she won't sign a routing slip for anything (she's to be the last one to see the routing slip, so that she knows who has seen the document before her).  The problem is when the routing slip is filled out as agreed upon on day 1, and now day 2 she's decided that others should have seen this.  And this is routine type stuff!

I've just thrown my hands up in the air and called it quits.  Now everything I type for her signature will go through 15 people, all the time, everytime, whether they need to see it or not, just so I have their signature on the off-chance she decides that they do need to see it.  (And the kicker is, the folks who have to sign this thing all answer directly to her, including bossie, so again I have no sway to get them to do this in a timely manner.  If she won't back me up, then I'm SOL.)

Drink, I need a drink!!  For now, chocolate will have to do.
