There's a new guy on the block. Unfortunately, he's an idiot. Even more unfortunate, he happens to be my boss.

It's frustrating, really, to be in a position where you know more than your superior, embarrassing even. How can I respect for someone who doesn't know the difference between DBKL and MPAJ (which my senile elderly mother does) or what UBBL stands for.

I caught him telling one of our Consultant Architects that minimum staircase width is 1000mm. Wrong, moron. Read guidelines, much? Flabbergasted and bewildered, to say the least, I did some snooping around on his past. Turns out he worked for another developer, not even an Ivy Leaguer, before joining us, stuck in a room and doodled on butter paper all day. Figures. And they put him in charge of a grand total of ONE project. Explains why, here, he has problems handling THREE. 

Management made him attend an Architect's presentation. Alone. Bastard cowered outside until the last minute before finally going in. His excuse? Apparently he was waiting for the tea lady. Great. No brains, and apparently, no balls, either. Peachy.

How shall I handle this situation? My immediate modus operandi is to wait it out. It's a rough patch. Stupidity like this can't go unnoticed forever. The mid ranks have already caught on, an Architect who doesn't know what GFA and NSA is surely open season to the corporate vultures. And those are the nice ones. It's a matter of time before he's chewed up and spit out. Big Boss has warmed up to him, but I figure it won't be long before he too questions his decision on why he hired this buffoon in the first place. Good things come to those who wait.
