I am almost caught up. It was a long day. I went out with my work friend but I had to stay late to finish my work because I had this.....

When I told my husband my boss's name he was like, incredulously, "THAT GUY? Who tanked a promising football career because he got caught on a spring break party with all kinds of madness and craziness and rape of women and them being held hostage.... THAT is your supervisor?"

I was like, "Not for too much longer, I don't think." All weary. GOD. My day was just so awful. I got a sniveling "come sign your evaluation, now that we have cleared up how I was all MISTAKEN yesterday."

I was like, "Um, I am afraid I can't. With your observations in person and writing, well, I am afraid I cannot accept your initial write up which was performed prior to you continuing to not orient me entirely which still has not been completed YET, I cannot in good conscience allow that. This will all need to be revised."

I mean he knew that I had uh, "wariness of him." I knew he somehow tanked the football career but uh, not the entire story. I just figured he wasn't good enough, not a freaking SUSPECTED NOT ENTIERLY proven felon,

So yeah, perhaps like, using a football metaphor was perhaps NOT the greatest thing. I mean.. Had I known the full story, I would be like, "I can never be alone with you again because you are a suspected ...... and you have lied to me directly several times."

Anyway, so I was like, "I am very sorry but you need to cease and desist. I have work to do today and this needs to be tabled. I spend more time explaining and educating you to get fairness than I do learning anything. Please provide my employee file. Please understand I cannot meet with you without my union rep. Please stop making assumptions. Please do not tell me I brought in cookies to "apologize to the clerks, that is something I habitually do every few months at my job to improve my work environment. Please stop making assumptions you no nothing about. Who can help facilitate my employee file being provided, please do not contact me further. I have asked you to stop emailing me. Do not tell me I have behavior patterns, do not lie, STOP. STOP WRITING ME EMAILS. CEASE AND DESIST"

And in a manipulative "Just you and me email" we have to meet for the betterment of the veterans. We can fix any mistakes and you are DELAYING the process. I forwarded it straight to my union rep who emailed me from home "We can meet tomorrow I need to know the whole story . I was like, "In the interests of sanity I quote the relevant part where my supervisor is trying to coerce me (privately) BUT IN AN EMAIL OMG HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE.... into meeting without union representation although it is my unassailable right. So.... wacky.

I am really tired. I don't understand how I am the FIRST SUPERVISEE of a dude so arrogant and violent and vile, he was able to tank a promising FOOTBALL career by rape, drunk driving, and check kiting. He got mad when I addressed him as my supervisor, but then called me unprofessional for using a football metaphor. I cannot win. He wants me to be his pal and call him by his first name. But I can't use FOOTBALL metaphors "we have the same credentials and training." Nope, actually we DON' T my resume could eat him like he was swiss cheese, he got his degree in night school not a top 10 SW master's program.

He is also not great at chess.

But I AM tired. I met up with my work pal and that was fun. Good coffee and an entertaining time, but I was already late, I kept being interrupted, and I just want to crawl in a hole and die. I have to work the ER on Saturday. That also makes me want to die.

I mean.... I trust my patients more than I do my (soon to be ex) supervisor. That's pretty depressing, but I guess he played football and they defended our country. So, slight difference.

I am finding it loathsome though. I really wish I had picked almost any other career than this one at this point. Like, Street Mime? People spit on you but it's not so bad?

I spent more time documenting my SUPERVISOR today than any and all of my patients. But, that presents a problem. One I will no longer be tolerating. Frankly, I believe he should be fired, based on his manipulation of me ALONE.

LOL. God. Don't go it health care kiddos, go into IT. Really.

    I really don’t see how this guy has the job he has. I’m hoping not for long also.

    I got my two Battlestars in today, only 3 days late, thanks to USPS. What's up with them anyway? They lost one of my packages, some records I bought off Ebay for my daughter. The guy was nice enough to resend it, even though he didn't have to. I'm supposed to get that package tomorrow, in just 11 short days from the time it was mailed.

    BTW, I had no issues with Kings of Vapor. I got an order email and shipping confirmation right away and the Battlestars, once they finally arrived, were exactly as ordered, plus a free gift. They don't have a lot of things in their inventory, but their prices are really cheap.

    USPS lost a package my wife ordered from back and body works about a month ago so they reshipped it and we got it a couple weeks ago. Then yesterday the lost package showed up looking like it was run over by a truck.

    Yeah it is the stock tip. It's funny, it is the first time I have tried to use this tank in quite a while. I filled it up, put the cap back on. Then I realized I didn't fill up the tank very high. So I tried to take it off again to fill it up some more. Now it won't come off.
    What's weird about this is that the tip is only held in place by two or three o-rings, and mine tend to be loose rather than tight.

    If it were I, I'd use pliers and a dish towel (or an old pair of panties to add a bit of spiciness) to protect the tip and give it a good twist and yank. Worst case you crack it and go to the spare tip.

    That's interesting... got a package from USPS (many months ago) that had definitely been ran over (smashed and black marks) Good thing it was crappy little promo pod that sucked anyway... only cost me $1 plus shipping) Still, I was ...... off.

    I like the pliers and panties idea. All mine are too nice to use though. Maybe I can ask a neighbor.

    I got 4 rushed, new mixes in the steep bin. But....Also got 8 kitchen towels printed and finished for Christmas. Took waaaaay longer than I planned. Only maybe 4 more to go. Tomorrow, hopefully 4 more mixes. A few a day and I should have enough to tide me over for a while. And I still haven’t excavated the empty flavor case. I must have put it somewhere “safe” lol.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    I have an appointment with my opthalmologist to be fitted for a left contact lens. I've been blurry in that eye since the procedure. Maybe he'll let me wear my old lens until the new one comes in. And since I'll be in town anyway, a mandatory trip to Walmart. Plus early voting has started for the election between hometown guy and salon lady, so I'll probably go ahead and vote.
