My new boss has "issues."

[graywarrior]

Ya, so it's like looking in the mirror; obsessive/compulsive, bi-polar, guilt-ridden, and crazy as a fucking lunatic. I dig her, but man, I am exhausted. You just can't ever get paid enough to deal with nuts.

Back to Ala-non, I think.

[SPKrazy]

1. ...

Gray

you are a gem! Back to al-anon!

Oh, I've got nada on workout today.

:pals:

[REDKING]

15. Gem,Diamond...a precious stone

You be right there.Isnt she............:applause:

[SPKrazy]

18. A Precious One Indeed!

:applause:

[ThomCat]

2. I hope it works out.

I've had some bat-shit-crazy bosses who were excellent bosses if you could put up with them.

Of course, there are others who are just bat-shit-crazy.

[graywarrior]

3. I just get sick of having to deal with crazies all the time.

Just once, I'd love to act like a spoiled brat, demeaning everyone around me and still get paid. I hate the world of work.

[NC_Nurse]

4. Try nursing...

90% codependents of some sort. Ya know, caretakers. :crazy:

Sometimes I wish we had an Al-anon meeting at the hospital!

[graywarrior]

5. I'd be a maniacal, co-dependent nurse practicing euthanasia

I'm a dysfunction magnet.

[NC_Nurse]

11. Lol!

Somedays I feel like that...sans the euthanasia of course!

I also am a nut magnet. ;)

[SPKrazy]

6. As A Social Worker

who has similar stats

I work in a hospital on a psych unit

we could use alanon meetings in the hospital

[graywarrior]

7. They should have them on every street corner like they do bars.

[SPKrazy]

9. Yup!

no money to be made though

we need a stronger force than money, like survival

[Deja Q]

10. I disagree.

Survival can have people do very surprising things.

[SPKrazy]

16. That's True

well maybe we need another force than money or survival.

I was thinking of survival being the force that drives people to alanon, and other 12 step meetings

[evlbstrd]

27. You've just listed all of the qualifications

of an advertising Account Manager.

[cwydro]

32. me too.

[Deja Q]

8. Everybody has issues.

It's just a matter of how one's issues are compatible with someone else's.

[graywarrior]

12. So freaking true.

I'm trying to work through this...which is new for me. In the past, I would have walked away after an argument. I'd love to do that now, but for some reason I'm not.

[cwydro]

13. Shit

my boss shows me her kidney stones...meets her boyfriend outside at lunch while telling us to lie to her DH if he shows up...

And lies to me every damn minute her lips are moving.

I feel your pain Gray....hey FLORIDA, huh?!

[graywarrior]

14. Yeah, Sarasota.

And my boss has an ex who is stalking her and her maintenance man. The ex doesn't have my phone number or know where I live, so I'm safe at this point.

Kidney stones, huh? As lovely as me cleaning up cat puke off a window screen.

[cwydro]

21. Oh yeah honey...

we were talking about this the other night, I remember. OK..I'm just chalking it up to the Florida thing! No one would believe this...truth is stranger than fiction...:rofl:

[graywarrior]

26. And it happens to the transplants.

Spend a few years here and the Florida Pod People infiltrate your brain.!:scared:

[SPKrazy]

17. Wow, That Is Much Worse Than Just The Kidney Stones!

No wonder you're sick of her

you shouldn't feel like you have to lie for her

damn, what a deal cwydro, that sucks

I kidded about the kidney stones the other day, but I didn't know (or maybe I missed reading it) the rest of it. Sorry.

:hug:

[cwydro]

19. Oh hell, no worries

about the kidney stones. But today I found out she has been telling lies to me on a regular basis. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm one of those trusting stupid people who seems to never catch on until too late. For some ridiculous reason, I always believe people and hell, at my age, I guess I should know better. Sorry, feeling kinda bitter and sad this evening.

Thanks though buddy. You're a good guy. And you made me feel better.

[SPKrazy]

20. Bitter?

I believe people too often too. Have had bosses lie to me several different times. Promise this, that, etc. Finally have a boss that I should trust, she's given me no reason not to, but I guess I have PTSD and paranoia or something.

Thanks
You're great!

:hug:

[cwydro]

22. Thank you too sweetie...

You seem to have a good heart and a good soul...you cheered me up already.

Um, now should I watch the "SPEECH"?

[SPKrazy]

23. Blahhhhh!

the state of Iraq from the liar in chief?

I can't do it

[cwydro]

24. Yeah.

Talk about a boss who LIES.

Sheesh.

[SPKrazy]

25. Only In 'merikuh

will he mispronounce new kew lar

will he announce that we are going to take on Iran?

I get sick anymore just thinking about him.

[cwydro]

28. He did indeed

mispronounce nu cul ar

[SPKrazy]

29. 'Magine My Surprise!

:rofl:

in what context: Iran has nu cul ar wepunz?

[cwydro]

30. Oh, hell

I lost the context. I just heard it and fell on the floor larfing.

Sadly, the rest of that sparf, um I mean speech, made me want to fall on the floor screaming and flailing! What a country we are in at this point in history. Aaaarrrrghgghhh!

[SPKrazy]

31. Isn't that the truth

we are going to send 20 K more troops to Iraq!

they don't have enough of our troops to target already?

Phased withdrawal, rear redeployment, or just get the hell out seem like better options to me.

This won't work duh

[cwydro]

33. I think

We are screwn.

[SPKrazy]

34. So

screwn

and we didn't even get a kiss beforehand!

[cwydro]

35. Yer...

that has happened to me many a time in this crazy life...especially the last few years. But hey, the benefits of middle age...everything in perspective.

If I can just get out of this job situation.

[SPKrazy]

36. Well

I will hope for you many job opportunities then!

[idgiehkt]

37. Christ.

I recommended this thread.

That is definitely the boss personality complex, for sure.

:eyes:

[graywarrior]

38. This should be recommended.

All bosses should take heed.
