Thank you, AMM. You don’t know how much I appreciate this. To make a long story short, I had a situation at work yesterday where I was acting on the directive of the boss. My action on that directive ticked off some other folks. I got reprimanded by e-mail with cc’s to a bunch of people. AND, get this, my boss responds, with cc’s to the same group, with basically “yeah, why did you do that?” Nothing like a little public humiliation by the boss to keep one humble.
And as you may have seen from the other forum, AMM, I feel a little kicked around at the moment and am over-reacting a bit.
You sure can Lori- just bring some Strawberry Margaritas and you’re in!
I’m sorry you had a nasty day there, you should write about it. I think you’re going to find that sort of ‘management call’ is counter productive on so many levels- but when it comes down to it what your boss did was wrong wrong wrong.
I know because I’m a manager and a good one if I don’t say so myself.
Hey I know, let’s invite the Girl Whose Head Spins around out to play.
I’ve thought many times about writing on the quirky personalities I work with. Such fine fodder… but I can’t run the risk of anyone from work reading what I say…. I have heard of company’s firing employees for writing on blogs. Anyway, no one would believe the stuff I’ve had to deal with.
I hadn’t read that one, Lori. I really liked it. My sincerest sympathies on a cruddy week.
On the plus side, Anita and Lori, not only is it Friday, it’s the Friday before the Labor Day weekend. YESSSSS!!!
Jane, me and Anita Marie
swilling beers and daquiries
over the lips and past the gums
we shake and grind our happy bums…
Because it’s FRIDAY!!!!!!
Oh, I’m hanging out here in Anita Maries crypt for a few days. The deal is that I have to feed Kinsey, her pet werewolf. Gotta be easier than the last few days!
Anita Marie, thanks for letting me hang out in the crypt this weekend. I guess it’s time for me to face the reality that the long weekend is over and Tuesday looms. Sigh.

So, um, can I hang out in the crypt this weekend?

PS:
I take that back. Once I did flirt around with writing about people I know….. remember this story?

Hey, Criminy. Welcome to the crypt-party.
Oh Crmiiny did not have that bad a week he got a new kitty.
max is about the meanest woman i’ve ever met.
reminding me of that was absolutely unnecessary. I’d put her on ignore, but she already put me on ignore so it would look like sour grapes.
hi lori
hey anita
We can put people on “ignore”? Cool. How’s that done? Not that I’d ignore anyone here, but it’s a big internet… could be a handy thing.
Okay…everybody play nice or I’m telling Ted on you all.
amm
i’m just kiddin about max being mean, even the cat comment doesn’t rise to that level
got your mail anita…
Oh I am the meanest girl you will ever meet.
Drop and give me twenty.
20?
Only 20?
hmmph
They are not an easy twenty after he drops I sit on him.
Never underestimate the Blonde One.
🙂
yeah, but you weigh like 7 pounds…one hand or two?
Jeez. That was sass.
One.
bet
drink your diet coke and count,,,no bodily functions while you’re sitting on me.
I weigh 117 pounds, smart stuff, you better practice.
what are you? Like 9’6″?
the physical is easy for me…it’s the brain that’s dysfunctional…hop on
Gee, Crim, if you can do one armed push ups with 120 extra pounds of girl on your back that is kind of hot.
the strong dumb type turn you on do they?
I’m pretty sure i could do 1, but I can do 1 anything…except give birth
Great party, folks.
Anita Marie, thanks for letting me hang out in the crypt this weekend. I guess it’s time for me to face the reality that the long weekend is over and Tuesday looms. Sigh.
At least I’m not hung over.
L.
It’s always fun to have you around L.
But I’m going to hang around just to see what else Max and Criminy have to say.
amm
It was not one. It was twenty. Sheesh. Slacker.
that’s before i knew you were the size of a small hippo
117 lbs?
fine…20 it is, but I have to use both hands, and you have to feed me grapes while I do them
