My girlfriend used to work at a big NYC hotel that has a salad named after it and when she’s have to terminate someone the line she was required to give was:
“I’m sorry but at this time we’re going to have to separate you from your employment.”
bodhi- that was the story of my life because I’m so hard of hearing. People think you’re stupid when its that you really can’t hear. I usually ask them to repeat stuff so I make sure I understood- one person said, what are you, dumb? Needless to say my- er- mercurial temperament expressed itself.
and eek, sorry M4L, that sounds like a bad situation to be in…i remember the first time someone explained to me what it meant to be “made redundant”….shiver…
LOL, rob and ENY. rob, somehow i thought you might understand that…and ENY, good point. actually the woman who was being pissy, isn’t my boss, she’s more a co-worker and there was just a misunderstanding. we are actually good friends, but this was the first time we had a misunderstanding about something at work and she acted like a jerk. blah. what a stinker. it’s sort of disappointing for someone to act rude or mean they could just as well explain themselves more clearly.
“i hate when ppl act like they are the only one who can do something right and like yr an idiot when you don’t understand something.”
that is bad but not as bad as the boss thinks everything you do is as easy as clicking on a button on the computer screen – ie you get no respect and he/she itching to fire your ass.
THL, Pia’s got her favorite window…heaven forbid I forget to open the damned curtain so she can access the sill. She’ll wake me up at 6am screaming in my face until I get up and open the darned thing so she can do her people and bird watching. Nevermind that there are two other windows with the exact same view right there and unblocked. Reminds me…I forgot to pick up new water guns.
MM’s cats do that too, THL, when the squirrel is outside. She calls it the squirrelvision channel.
Bodhi,
