New Job- Old Bosses

I just received an offer letter for a job I interviewed for. I'm really happy. The pay is better and the benefits rock! This is the type of company that people retire from. There is one guy here who started working here before I was born. Yep, he's old but he doesn't want to give it up.

I have 2 really great bosses right now and the one I interviewed with seems very nice as well, and I got to meet his former admin who said he's a really nice guy. He even offered to allow the two of us to chat without him so she could talk about him without him being there! LoL!

This got me thinking about bosses I've had in the past. I've had some wonderful ones, but I've also had my share of shitty ones! Here are just a few that I can come up with below.



"THE HEAD UP HIS ASS" BOSS
This guy had no clue how to successfully do his job or how to delegate. He was a bigwig for a huge religious institution. When I'd ask him 3 days in advance what he needed for me to work on to get him ready for his BIG meeting on Friday, he'd look at me like I'd lost my mind! His reply was, "Friday's meeting? I'm still working on what I'm doing today! I don't have time to worry about what is going to happen in 3 days!"

Okay, that could be reasonable, except the fact that there were 5 floors, and 3 copiers; 1 which was color and they were stationed on different floors. When it came time for the meeting on Friday, guess what? He had me and 2 other admins running around gathering all of the information he needed, running up and down stairs to find out WHICH of the 3 copiers worked because he needed 25 copies STAT! It was a fiasco! When did the meeting start? 10 minutes before he demanded what he needed!


"I'M THE BOSS AND I SAID SO" BOSS
I worked as an Office Specialist for a chemical company and my office was a long narrow office with my desk, cabinets, file cabinets and counterspace in the shape of a U. At the end of the U was a window to see out into the lobby so that when visitors came through, they'd have to sign in, get a badge and if first time visitors, I'd have to set them up with a safety video.

My back was to my bosses office door, though we both had outer office doors. I'd be doing my job, which included A/P, Payroll, Ordering supplies, etc and catch a movement in the glass window in front of me. I'd turn in my chair to find my boss standing over my shoulder just watching me!

I'd ask him what he was doing and he'd ask me what I was doing. Like I was doing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing! He never wanted me to take his mail into his office and put it into his INBOX even though it was always overflowing. He liked to use it as an excuse to sneak up on me.

One time, one of the union workers asked him why he had to do something a specific way and the boss turned red in the face, balled up his fists at his side, stomped his feet and screamed... "BECAUSE I'M THE BOSS AND I SAID SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

This guy was such a kiss ass to corporate that he actually he thought he was doing the company a favor by not using the budget that was given to him. What happened? He saved the company tens of thousands of dollars, lost his job for not spending properly and put the Baltimore plant out of business! (LoL Jackass!)



THE SIRE ... .ERRR... SIGHER BOSS
This was a temp-to-hire position, and it was my understanding that this boss hired usually within 2 weeks time!

This boss sat in an office behind me. His office was long and wide (and luxuorous)! Mine was the front office reception area. He'd sit in his office all day and when asked a question by me, he'd SIGH. A long drawn out melodramatic SIGH! It wasn't like I had been there for 6 months and should know what I was doing. This was my first week; probably my first day!

I was quite amazed at how horrible it must have been to actually have to answer a question on how to do a job he hired for, but there was no training. I even asked him at one point when he got up and came in to my office,"Is it that bad"? He asked me what I meant, and I told him, "Every time I ask you a question, you sigh loudly, so I figure life must be pretty bad for you!"

When I met with him for the interview, I told him that I had an out-of-state dental appointment 2 weeks after the start date. He was fine with this. Until the day before when I reminded him that I had a dental appointment and would not be in. Go figure... I got a call while I was returning from the dental appointment that my services were no longer needed (from the temp agency).


Hoping that things go well with my new boss!

Finding the perfect submissive male for me

I have finally put together what it is I'm seeking for a male sub...

It's really on a case by case basis, mixed with good chemistry and an acceptance and maybe even desire to join in poly household. Toss in the fact that he may be bisexual or a cuckold and life is grand. He would love feet, massage, and goddess worship as well as cbt, electrical and impact play. He would be obedient, honest, and understand about respect and when humor is and is not appropriate. Smart-asses need not apply.


Put him under 5'10'' with a medium build, good hygiene, good teeth and a decent income then life would be grand!


Maybe that's why I keep having the reoccurring dream of running through a field of wildflowers with a huge butterfly net, always coming out the other end with an empty net. Regardless of my search and the fun I'm having while doing it, I'm empty handed at the end of the day.

Last year

A lot has happened since last time I posted. I finally got a long-term position as a contractor for a government contractor. I've been here since June and have been offered a permenant position for another department. Hopefully with a lot more work. I'm not good as a thumb-twiddler.

My week started on a Monday and on Wednesday I went on a 5-day vacation. It was a bdsm vacation at Deep Creek Lake that I planned and choreographed. A lot of fun, but a lot of work too. It was an interesting mix of people and drama. I'd like to do it again, but I would definitely be more selective on who to invite.

I also became owner of a full time 24/7 submissive in my home. That lasted about 4 months and I was happy to see it dissolve. There was too much turmoil and drama to be a good fit; neither of us were what the other wanted or needed. ( I did have to chuckle last night though. This relationship ended 4 1/2 months ago, and he had someone contact me yesterday to see about getting the remainder of his things! He took things with him when he moved out and then came back a few days later to get the rest. His words to me were, "Get rid of whatever I left behind". Why on Earth would this person think that I'd hold on to his belongings 4 1/2 months later? Do I LOOK like a storage facility? Whatever was of any worth helped make up for his back rent that he owed me. Besides, this man has been nothing but outwardly rude to me at any event I see him at, why on Earth would he think that I'd go out of my way to help him out?

Summer went by without a beach vacation. That was disappointing but understandable. I did spend as much of it as I could with friends and family. One of my favorite events was at a friend's house in Virginia. She returned home from Maine with lobsters and did a lobster bake. My (then) submissive doesn't like "sea bugs" and was pretty icked out just looking at them.

September, a group of us went to King's Dominion for the weekend. We celebrated Pete's 40th birthday and as a wonderful gift to himself, he quit smoking!! YaY Pete!!!

October, my daughter came home for a wonderful 12 days for her father's marriage. She spent a lot of time with me and I was thrilled.

My son joined the Army National Guard. He is at this time in Arkansas getting his GED, and will return on Friday. He says once he gets that, he will upgrade to full-time Army status. He'll be home on the same day that his sister drives home from Texas with her husband. They'll be here for 5 days before driving back. In April, her husband will be out of the military and they will return home to Maryland for good. YaY!!!! Unfortunately, they'll also be bringing their 3 dogs with them. Lord only knows how that will work out.

November, I celebrated my 39th (+) birthday. Several of my bdsm friends went with me to Howl at the Moon and then to Club Hippo . I even had 2 male subs and 1 female sub at my side all evening. How nice was THAT!?!?!? :) Howl at Moon is a dueling piano bar and a lot of fun. Club Hippo is a gay bar and they had their Drag Show that night. One of my boys is a cross dresser so he was very intrigued.

December, I had a great Christmas. It was filled with family and my femsub friend came and stayed the night Christmas Eve. It was a wonderful day and family came in shifts. The evening ended with Pete's Dad and Grandad. What wonderfully sweet men. Pete's Grandad was very funny, not wanting to share his box of chocolates with anyone and making it a point to tease us with them.

Saturday after Christmas, I had a ReGifting Party. WHAT FUN!!!!! It was all lifestyle people and everyone had a good time. It was the first time that I'd ever participated in a "Chinese Gift Exchange". I can't wait to hold one next year!!!!

Here it is January of 2008!!! Where does the time go?
I am looking forward to a new job with fabulous benefits!!!
I look forward to seeing my daughter this weekend!
I look forward to seeing my son return from Arkansas!
I look forward to selling my house! (or renting it to my daughter?)
