My boss has been a little tense lately. Well, ok...a lot tense. Yesterday he hit his boiling point, apparently, and seemed to feel that I was a good target. He burned me a good few times with said spew and as it turned out, was in regards to Noggin'. I called him on his cell phone last night and confronted him on his recent behavior. I understand the points he made about the pressure he is under right now, but at the same time he needs to find a constructive way to deal with it. It is said that those you feel the most comfortable and secure with, are the ones you are more likely to, for lack of a better word, abuse. I felt pretty good about standing up for myself, seeing as I have a hard time doing that, and I made my mom proud too. ;) He is only now realizing some of the things that I already knew and dealt with daily where Noggin' was concerned. I am glad his eyes have been opened, but the death rays he is shooting out keep hitting me. Yeesh.

Should I have him killed or simply beaten?
It is ok...although if you had asked me that last night? I may have seriously contemplated the first option.
But thank you oh so much for asking... ;)
Noggin' is the girl that I work with. There are only 3 of us in the office so we work rather close together. She has the same name as me...but my mom came up with the nickname of Noggin'. It pertains to the size of her head both physically and mentally. LOL It isn't very nice but very appropriate and well...funny. She has been very "catty" with her nasty comments my way and feels that it is ok to treat people in that fashion. Her reasoning is that she is just sooo pretty, that it makes it OK.
She is now leaving our office and moving back to Louisiana. My boss is realizing and taking a hard look at her time with us. He has just noticed what I have dealt with all along. And he doesn't like it. A little too late if you ask me, but what goes around comes around and I am glad I was patient enough to keep my mouth shut. I was tempted, to say the least, to lash back out at her. But it doesn't really solve anything to be hateful.
I understand being in the line of fire, and I am not taking it personally. But I did let him know it wasn't necessarily ok or the right thing to do. It is working out ok so far.
