AHHHHHHHHh.........sometimes I just don't think I can take it anymore. I wonder if the day will ever come when I do something right or my boss has something nice to say to me, or just maybe there will come a time when I don't have to be reminded 20,000 times all the things that have been done for me. Ok, just had to vent. I feel much better now. Best go back to work.

I've had that kind of a boss, too. I feel for ya!!
You might try going above him/her. It's possible there have been other complaints about this person.

If it gets to the point where you can't stand going in each day, you might consider looking for something better. I know that's hard, but trust me, nothing is worth the stress caused by a tyrant at work.

Me too! I have a new supervisor who is on us all the time, micro-managing in such an intrusive way its actually counterproductive.

Not to mention she won't let us websurf in down-times.. cutting down my TVCH time!! Noooooooo!!!!!

Yes, my boss is crazy. He is disorganized and has the attention span of a 3 year old, but he is a truly good person. I can go to him for anything, and he will help. He cares about me and not just at work...he genuinely wants me to like what I do.
This has been a particularly crazy week, and it is only Wednesday and I have wanted to kill him at least twice, but then he gave me a raise, and I can't kill him until after payday. :)

Oh noooo, not my boss. My boss is such a wonderful, generous and caring person. She never drives me crazy. I'm just so lucky to be able to work for her.

It sounds like your boss is just darn lucky to have such a wonderful and great employee like you.
Now if she would just get the internet at work I (hmmm, I mean She) would be perfect.

It is the least she could do, Az. And being as wonderful as she is, I am sure she will!!!

~hehe~ Just as soon as they get the internet cable lines ready, we will be able to read and post from work. We were supposed to get it in May, then June and now it is August. Geesh, doesn't the cable company know I'm fixing to have to go back to work soon and need something to do. I'll leave all the real work for Az.

Kady we are in the same situation. I don't think I will be able to post from work though IF we ever get it.

My bosses can be frustrating but it is a co-worker that really drives me nuts. Not only can she be a witch, especially when our immediate boss is out, she's getting married soon and is now a super witch stressing over her wedding.

Corrie, It's a little joke between me and Azriel. I am actually Azriel's boss. I have a liqour store and a tanning salon. Az has been working for me since 1988. We are friends at work, off work, and here on the board. If we get on-line at work, believe me we will both be able to read and post. And I'm sure I will be telling her to get back to work.

Kady & Azriel, I had forgotten that you two work together....your postings were just too cute! Thanks for the smiles.

I'm trying to be understanding to the subtle changes that are occuring with our new management team - they are micro-managing and yesterday was an amazing event for me. Whenever we send a co-worker an email, we must cc our immediate supervisor. Well, toward the end of a very long day, my immediate supervise approached me and let me know that an email I sent to a co-worker had a "tone" to it. I was totally taken by surprise as I had sent a few emails and I didn't know which email she was referring too. When she identified it, I almost starting laughing...the email I sent was to a very dear friend who happens to be one of my co-workers and my intent was to razz her with an inside joke - which I know she got a laugh from because she left me a voice message. After I redeemed my good name, my supervisor let me know that I could no longer send emails that would be interpreted with a "tone". Amazing, just amazing!!

Eggie, too bad you couldn't chide the supervisor about her "tone".

Egbok, I think I'm detecting a "tone" in your post!

Thanks for the tip SpongeBob!!

<Eggie scratches head and wonders if she has Bob's email so that she can send her guess for the tags with a "tone">
