Days in the Life

Just in case anybody thought I was being too hard on my boss, in the last week she kept up with the same routine. She snapped at me for no reason, tried to manipulate me into working more hours, and once again had me make calls to clients that she had alienated. (looking at this written down it seems so minor. I wonder, am I overreacting? NO!! She's a wretch, there just aren't words for it.)

My favorite was the morning she was walking her dogs and saw me in the coffee shop getting tea before work. She waited outside until I came out, and then asked if I wanted to walk around the block with her. Uh, no! How like her to put me in that awkward position. So I told her thanks, but I needed to get to work.

Good news on the job front: Tricia, my upstairs neighbor, has said that she can get me a temp job at her work, the Wright Institute, starting Dec 1. Hopefully this will give me a little breather so I can find a good permanent position somewhere.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Monday morning & I'm about to take off for work again. I have a headache.

Things have been a little tense at the office since I put in my notice. I absolutely dread going there, but I gave my word that I would, so I'm a little stuck. SA (my soon to be ex-boss) has been tiptoing around all last week, but I suspect that over the weekend she will have come up with some new bitchy shit to pull.

That's ok, I'm ready for it.

Let's see what transpires.

Troll Girl Quit Job

I quit my job today, yay!!! Not only that, but I got really mad at my boss right in her face and told her off. Hardcore.

Did I mention that this Sunday when I was doing the reading for my anxiety class, I read the wrong chapter? I was supposed to read the one on feeeeeeeeeeelings, but instead I read the one on assertiveness. Oops.

I could get into a detailed analysis of all the ways my boss sucks, but instead I'll just say that she is a blamer who sets her employees up for constant failure. And she's a bully. And she snaps at a person out of the blue like some skanky wrinkled crocodile.

So I read her the riot act. Then, out of the kindness of my very forgiving heart, I condescended to give her 2 weeks notice so she can find some other sap to take the position. Then my coworker arrived on the rather tense scene and I announced that I needed to take a walk (by that time I was really quite upset).

"That's a good idea, let's do that," replied my boss, and she started to follow me out!

So I turned and looked at her and said, "No, not with you. I need to take a walk by myself."

And she sort of stumbled backwards and said of course, of course, that's what she meant. Which was kind of funny.

Then I took a walk up the street, so pissed off I was crying. Which is good, because I love to cry in public.

I am very glad I quit my job.

Fluke Update & Other Momentous Events:

I have my fluke and have been playing it for about 2 weeks and I have to say that it is a dream come true: it's easy to play, the sound is everything I could ask for, plus of course the cool flame motif.

I am practicing every day, and my improvement, though slow, is steady. In fact, I just started putting accompaniment to songs I have written, very fun. Also, I picked up this book on musical theory and chord-building for the ukulele, which after the first few pages is giving me a lot of good insight.

In other news:

• Bought a DVD on hip-hop and am learning how to get down.
• This morning I developed a twitch in the muscles beneath my left eye. Hope it does not indicate stroke or aneurism or anything...
• Watched the entire 1st season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the 1st seaon of Angel over the weekend. This could be an alternate explanation of the eye twitch.
• Attempted to talk to a guy on Friday and realized I don't know how.

Eye is twitching again, gotta go.

People will kick my trollish butt

I am hearing rumors of dissatisfaction in the ranks due to the fact that I haven't updated this blog in an aeon. Well, wait no more! I can fill you in on all the news right now.

Ok, so, the news:

News.

Yeah, there's gotta be something going on. Yeah.

I feel sleepy.
