top 3 reasons why i don't like my boss
i generally like her as a person, but as a boss, she sucks.
3. she orders things we have so we have nowhere to put anything, but it's our problem to figure out what to do with them
2. she never orders the things we actually need (i've started to keep a list, which i'm gonna do for a month, then turn in one copy to her and one to the administrator - just telling the boss isn't doing us any good)
and the number one reason:
1. since she has been there (just before Christmas), i have not asked her for one thing. other people have asked her for favors, but i haven't. i haven't asked for a day off, i've shifted my schedule around so other people can have time off, i've cooked (which i swore i'd never do), and i've been nice enough to not tell her off for her crappy ordering. so today i asked her if i could leave work one hour early on friday. 'i know this is a horrible time to ask, but is there any way i could possibly leave work an hour early on friday?' she said, 'we're already short [staff] that day.' i said, 'i know, but i have a little girl who's in a play in st. cloud at 3:00.' she literally laughed in my face.

uh! that's so mean!! she reminds me of count olaf! (one of the cruelest villains of all time--if not THE cruelest!)
she laughed in your face? i'd just walk out friday afternoon. can't anyone cover for you? you've always been willing to help everybody else out.
it is olafy, isn't it?
Who is Count Olaf? Is he the pike guy?
oh wait- maybe I just don't want to know! Somethings are better not to know!
not that somethings is a word. Sorry! I'm done now!
lol, somethings can be a word on melilot's blog, i think :)
you can know who count olaf is, it's ok -- he's the villain in series of unfortunate events (read the book or at least see the movie!:)
oh, and who's "the pike guy?"
yeah, who's the pike guy?
and it's a series of unfortunate events - 13 books.
Oh that would be okay. There was some Eastern European count (don't remember his name, don't want to look it up!) in the Middle Ages that killed enemies by driving a stake through them and then lifting them up. Very nasty.
eeewww!!!!!
(i'm glad your boss isn't that bad, melilot!)
true - i'll give her that :)
Josh is so helpful- it was Vlad the Impaler.
what an appropriate name ;)
that's a great name!
that's dracula, right? (or the guy on whom dracula was based)
ooh, i didn't know that! (but where'd they get "dracula" from "vlad the impaler," i wonder?)
my husband is helpful, too:
vlad the impaler was actually vladimir draco (or something like that). 'dracula' means son of the dragon, and came from his father, who was known as 'the dragon'
blogging is so educational!
yeah, it is! together (and with all your hubbies:) we'd stand a chance at jeopardy!
why do our husbands know these things? (well Josh knows because I'm a silly history nut but I forget and he has a crazy memory so he remembers!) Why does D know these things?
yeah, what's with boys remembering random facts?
hm...dracula - draco - vlad the impaler...could that mean anything?
and i'm pretty good at random facts. at least in entertainment/pop culture areas. but i also aced the isaac asimov quiz on historical dates.
show-off ;)
are you saying draco's gonna impale somebody??
cuz that's pretty intense!
i'm sure not - but it's something to wonder
