My boss has a habit of not actually saying something, and then whenever anyone asks her a question getting *really* annoyed because she *has explained it* to you...
For awhile, I actually thought I was *really* spacing out or just somehow missing important clues, until I compared notes with my coworkers and we all realized, no, unless all of us were missing *exactly the same thing*, there were gaps that she just wasn't filling in.
Of course, *especially* when people band together and mention this, that just makes her angry. So you really can't win.
Much like Idol.
Well, at least in Idol *one person* ends up winning...

A gap for you to fill in is your Topic entries, and you fill them in over here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/1014004.html
Everyone is partnered up: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_IrAytsdt66JR_PFMBqI2rxVR4VbWUWqnWip877U7nw/edit#gid=0 although there was a drop that will end up impacting the polls, and maybe make life a little more interesting in a week that should already be pretty interesting!

Your boss seems to be a bit addlepated. I'm pretty sure there's no cure for that. (Kindle doesn't believe that addlepated is a word, but dictionary.com does, and I, from personal experience, absolutely do.)

That's why having a beta reader is a good idea. :)

Communication! It's the key that fits so many locks!
That's a sign of a personality problem, in addition to the inability to discuss things coherently outside of your own head. :(
What's worse is when that kind of manager expect you to take action-- and accomplish!--based on the vague thing they didn't fully communicate. :O
Otherwise known as "the voices in your head are too loud."
Well, I wasn't thinking of that so much as, muddled/distracted thinker and someone with a tendency to ramble. ;)
