Work woes
lighter:
Well....
I'm picturing something between an I LOVE LUCY version of you, seated at an old fashioned typewriter, pencill gripped between your teeth, and....
the bubby making witch from the Witches Of Eastwick.
::stepping back to admire the blend::
::nodding::
In any case, I'd be thrilled to read you're actually tackling the writing project, faithful companion by your side.

Wow Hops! What a change in attitude you have. Seeing it in other modes that are laughable seems like a major triumph.
I think you actually love working in a team if it is a healthy team. Mr Madhatter the boss is just dying to feel that way but can't and does a really bizarre imitation of it. >>>>> He dressed in DRAG??????????????? And no one else dressed up????? This is very interesting and thought provoking. Nice of you to mention that you didn't hold it against him in any way.
I was thinking of costumes that you might wear to a staff meeting. You could go as the dominatrix bad witch lady that he fantasizes you are, or a big pink bunny. Then the whole conversation would be quite different.This is in the realm of psycho drama which is very effective but hardly anyone is willing to do.
Glad you are having some respite from the continual contempt and uncreativity of the boring one.
It is totally ok for you to vent though. It is a difficult situation and we can't always run.
All the best to you and remember what Hopilong would do. I don't know but I think I will find out. He would say "Hi Ho Tonto and then what......."
Cheers,

Meh:
Work stuff, : I have asthma, a manager where I work burns potpourri, I made a general statement to the HR person because it was brought up during training... about broadcasting an email reminding people about perfumey/aftershave stuff... got a really snotty and rude response back from the HR person that she then apologized for in an even worse way. I should write it down verbatim here. Anyhow, I went out and bought a citrus spray, citrus oil and alcohol that doesn't really aggravate my asthma as much as the chemical junk. Gave it to the manager who has the potpourri, (5 cans of it) she said she was going to keep one for herself as if it was some kind of gift and then distribute the rest in the office.... Well.. She didn't stop using the potpourri so today I sent her an email asking her point blank to stop.... that I purchased the other stuff hoping it could be used instead of other chemical air fresheners... WTF?. We all feel like we could get fired for the stupidest smallest things.
When I put it into perspective though... If somebody with a medical condition that I worked with needed me to make a minor change then I would. So it dumbfounds me that this is even a problem. Anyways that is my workplace stupidity..
Meh:
Got called into the vice-president's office of my company... ugghhhh that was an unexpected event.. like BAM.... felt like I was going into the principle's office. We are so compartmentalized where we work that I have never been into that part of the building before.
They had done that company survey / elicited responses. I responded saying that I wish they would be more aware of the amount of perfume Lysol.. sprays potpourri that people are using.. and put into the air because we work "out on a floor"... like one huge room all of us together no offices whatever people put into the air I have to breathe..
I feel like if I am called into the president's office personally like I am a problem person.
This guy has never talked to me before. He also asked me how long I have worked there... so I think that maybe he thinks I have been there too long LOL ... or maybe he just wants to know if I have been there a substantial amount of time.
