Aaaack!!!!....My Boss is Evil

[Sundrop]

Okay, I don't really have a boss, and the salon owner isn't really evil.....buuuuuut....
we come in to work this morning, and the salon owner is playing Air Supply.
I hate Air Supply....almost as much as I hate seafood.

So, how does your boss or co workers torment you?

But not hiring me or being my fellow workers.

I have worked in the same small business for close to 30 years, and my father before me. My bosses are two brothers and I know them only too well. They have been good to me, but their antics over time have given me a great capacity for eye rolling, head shaking and just plain bafflement.

 

[EMARX]

Air Supply! Something should have been done about those two. The aussies have produced some great bands, but......

I can help you out with some creative come backs.....

Pft! I have tons of petty complaints. It seems that every blasted thing that goes on around here comes across my desk, and I just wish some people would realize they don't need my permission or my expertise to do many of these things they lay at my feet. Grow up already!

I dunno...seems like if the boss or owner is playing that song you should feel loved...I'm all out of love! I'm so lost without you! I know you were right! lalalalala! I suspect an owner that doesn't know how to express their true feelings. Perhaps a social gathering is due...invite the owner...some tuna-fish sandwiches...Air Supply on the boombox. Introduce the owner to some other music. Johnny Cash. Who are some of the youthful contenders? Justin Beiber? Miley Cyrus? Look at it from that perspective...it could be worse.

Well played, my friend....well played

I teach sixth grade, so the 3 sixth-grade teachers and I eat lunch together, along with one or two others from different grade levels. One woman teaches writing to all three grades (6,7,8) and eats lunch with us every day. The problem is she simply dominates the whole conversation. She'll start telling a story about her young son's baseball game, or how her aunt's best friend's cousin bought a house in Kansas City that looks like this-n-such, or Here are the things I bought on my last shopping trip. One time, she told us she and her husband had started watching Breaking Bad, and guess what? I'll never get to watch one episode even if I wanted to, because she spent 15 minutes telling every detail of every show and spoiling all the plot points. I have started not eating with them because it's so annoying. Plus, I always assume no one wants to hear more than a sentence or two about my life; why can't they see we're just not that interested in theirs? I swear, one time it took her ten minutes to answer the question, "Where did you find those cookies in Wal Mart?" She practically started at the birth of Christ and 10 minutes later, we knew exactly which aisle, shelf and behind which other box to find them. As Jerry Clower would say, "Just shoot up here amongst us; one of us has got to have some relief!"

I'm lucky to have a great boss and co-workers, currently. My worst boss was someone who hated anyone who left on time, which she referred to as "early". She had no life outside of work and didn't see why anyone else should.

Well, I am the boss, and I've found out that being cool and easygoing can lead to entitlement and dysfunction. It's been a tough lesson for me that people need authority, whether they realize it or not, believe it or not. I'm not the authoritarian type, so that's been tough for me to try to accomplish.

Probably why I'd rather be a writer. Unfortunately, it appears that people have to be willing to pay you in order to do that for a living.

Some people are addicted to alcohol, some to spending money, and some to talking. Without a doubt people have brought her problem up with this lady in her past, so if you tactfully say something like "Oh! Don't tell us how the show ends!" and smile, she'll realize she's out of control again. And tactfully interrupt her when she's going on and on. She probably traps people on the phone, too. I've had to learn how to deal with people who do that: yell "Fire!" and hang up.
