A copier, a copier etc

So having been told on numerous occasions it seems that BG is stilltrying to fix things for Ricoh.

Having spent hours rating the submissions & fiddling with the totals managed to get Ricoh to be the top rated submission. Sent off to Helen Stukely who came back with a number of points:

• if matches the criteria must have the same scores
• can only judge on the bid submission & not on previous experience (buggers up Ricoh bid)
• any comments are supposed to debrief the companies tendering not to justify why want stuff

She seems to be pushing Konika Minolta for some reason of her own. When I told this to Kate on Tuesday she went librarian poo. She said she wont have it but I doubt it's her choice!

When I told BG what Helen had said he started moaning again ... 'She might as well fill it in herself and leave us alone..." + "We'll withdraw the tender & stick with what we've got..."

Not sure we'd be allowed to do the latter.

And another part of my job disappears through no fault of my own. Time to update the CV and start looking for another job methinks before I get completely shafted by Bruce's childish refusal to contemplate anything different to what he wants.

Or I'll wait until the make me redundant & take the money!

And so it goes on (more "We'll stick with what we have/have a strait replacement/she might as well fill it in herself...")
