Help - I'm Stepping Into The Dilbert Zone

hiddenmuseI almost cried myself to sleep last night, knowing that I had to go to work in the morning.
Then, I get here and find out that all kinds of Hell is trying to break loose. Apparently, the High Muckety Muck was pissed off that I took a vacation day on Friday, "during this time of crisis". He wanted to know who authorized it & says that "we'll have to talk about vacation time..." *flips the bird*
Fucking-A-Lovely. I take a day off to save my sanity and everyone else gets ripped a new orifice because of it? Also, how did we go from being "grossly over-staffed" to "crisis mode" in, like, no time? The mind really boggles over that one.
And to really make things interesting, the accountant wants us to account for EVERY 15 MINUTES of our work day. Should I mark my pee breaks on there, too? Sweet Jesus, what the fuck are we - adults, or kindergarteners? That's just a total waste of time. Account for every 15 minutes of your work day, by taking 15 minutes to recall what all you'd done in that past 15 minutes.
Yes, this is what it's come down to ... work is being run by imbeciles. I'd swear that we could be better managed by the monkeys at computers typing out the lyrics to the songs for Britney Spears' next CD.

I know you are concerned about the pay, but at some point you have to cut your losses and save your sanity. Crying because you have to go to work is never a good sign.
Should I continue browsing jobs for you?
