I realize how I perceive things is of more importance than that which is being said. Typically, I manage to escape the droning about questionable personal details, but when I found out this 'twit' called a young woman who is off on maternity leave, I wanted to SCREAM! Can you imagine only wanting to savor your time with your newborn and getting a call disguised as an inquiry about returning to work and it be completely about how much a new dude is spending? Unbelievable. I did report that incident to my immediate supervisor so he might have an opportunity to nip it in the bud before taking it to a higher level.<BR/><BR/>Touched, welcome to my randomosity!Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640540606897546407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-70898427682954231682009-02-28T18:57:00.000-06:002009-02-28T18:57:00.000-06:00You are Hilarious.

Your boss ...It doesn't sound like it's awful, yet. Your boss sounds a little clueless. Still, I'd go with the vibrating cell phone excuse, before it gets worse. Avoid being alone with this particular boss. The one time I had a chatty boss with love interest problems, the next time people needed to be let go I was on the short list. I've always wondered if it was partly because my boss saw me as a risk - I knew way too much about her her private life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-85735289261340892792009-02-27T21:49:00.000-06:002009-02-27T21:49:00.000-06:00Riss, I hate to say this but suck it up and let it...Riss, I hate to say this but suck it up and let it pass. After losing my last job, I'd almost be happy to have these kinds of "problems" again. I know it seems like an no-win situation to get involved with this bimbo, but let it go, keep your head down and keep on keeping a roof over Mancub's head....and YOURS too.<BR/>daveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-38667474022161094132009-02-27T17:24:00.000-06:002009-02-27T17:24:00.000-06:00Riss,Miss your `wacky` videos!Riss,<BR/><BR/>Miss your `wacky` videos!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218663055459606810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-86836842784140988152009-02-27T14:08:00.000-06:002009-02-27T14:08:00.000-06:00Isn't insecurity boring?

That's the boss, right there... not bragging to tear someone else down, but to build herself up because she somehow feels inadequate. <BR/>Because of the horror stories everywhere right now, I wouldn't risk an income by telling the authority figure to please keep mum. I would, however, very blatantly avoid this person... appearing busier than usual, needing to check my "silent ringing" cell phone or even crassly changing the subject mid-sentence: "Oh that reminds me of Eva Gabor in Green Acres! Didn't you just love Arnold the Pig?" <BR/>Yeah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-62316412094836896762009-02-27T12:21:00.000-06:002009-02-27T12:21:00.000-06:00Oy to the vey.

I think you just have to say something but keep it short, direct and to the point, less is more here.

I think they might be best kept to yourself, especially so among people in your employment circle that view you as a person of authority and who you need to be around on a daily basis in a working relationship. I would rather not hear about these issues, if it’s all the same to you.”<BR/><BR/>Getcher game face on a’fore stating such, of course.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck, Good Friend of Riss.Ruprechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877547409686157948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-53857326143938962762009-02-27T10:18:00.000-06:002009-02-27T10:18:00.000-06:00Like Chrissie Hynde sings:Private life, drama baby...Like Chrissie Hynde sings:<BR/><BR/>Private life, drama baby leave me out.<BR/><BR/>I personally wouldn't get involved with that mess. It'll only turn & bite you in the ass.<BR/><BR/>Your boss sounds like a part-time hooker. Maybe the `boys in blue` should be called upon, not the human resource dept. Just listen politely, nod like Bill Murray, & get away from her as fast as you can.<BR/><BR/>& it's very weird that your boss would call you at home just to `brag` about her latest fcuk.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218663055459606810noreply@blogger.com
