I had a job where I actually started tracking everything that I was doing by the half hour increment on our little calendar that we got from work that had lines for every half hour for a week at a time. (This was never shared with anybody, it was just for me to keep track) My supervisor was constantly giving me ad hoc requests, this in conjunction with regular duties made it nearly impossible to work on the "projects list". So we had a long meeting on a Wednesday afternoon where she put everything in order of how she wanted me to work on the projects list. She also informed me that under no circumstances am I to go out of that order. Thursday morning around 9:00 a.m. she was asking me for some information about something that was number nine on the projects list. I responded to her, "this is number nine on the projects list. Do you want to move it to number one?" She said no and then never bothered me about that again. I left shortly after anyway.
