So not fully the CRA's fault, but the idiots who built our department decided to put the thermostat that controls my office's environment in the CRA's monitoring room.  Whenever we had a monitor visit, my room was either a hell hole or a polar ice cap.....

In comes the CRA from hell.....always came in for a monitoring visit, shut/locked the door, cranked down the thermostat, and proceeded to do nothing but talk on the phone in spanish with who knows who.....

I always knew when this CRA came into the department for visit when my lips turned blue and the door was shut.

Then there was perfume CRA... the one who literally wore so much perfume to cover up the smoke smell that our entire department had to be fumigated post-visit for about three days. Our asthmatic coordinators had to take sick days.....

I know CRAs are in short supply.... but where the heck do they find these people?

 

And..... I bet they are paid far more than our research staff to do shitty jobs.

Ha. Perfume CRA cracks me up. We had one who insisted on being barefoot in our office at all times and it creeped me out.

Put a locking Thermostat cover on the thermostat.  Charge them $$$ to change it.  Just for fun.
