I don't know if that's the case of course, I just know its possible.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
ChiKat, I think you should send him an email that assumes you are his boss. Ask him to get you a double tall latte, no foam, pronto!
Oh! I like this!
What if ChiKat likes the foam?
I do enjoy some foam. I think the order really needs to be a double tall skim latte, medium foam.
ChiKat, I was just looking more closely at the goodies you sent me, and I am IN LOVE with the fragrance pendant. It is SO COOL!
I am so glad! I think it's pretty cool. Put in your favorite fragrance and you have it with you all the time!
I think my nice boss is being kept in the dark. She was overruled when LA Boss nixed the hire of my minion.
Hec, is it possible that your nice boss could be on the chopping block with you? Could be LA Boss doesn't want her around, either.
Nice boss totally knows and is lying.
Oh. Guess not. I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this. They are absolute fuckweasels.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Good grief. Bosses acting like children lying about breaking the lamp because they're afraid to get into trouble? What utter crap. ::boggles::
No comfort, I'm sure, but you'll clearly be much better off when you're shut of them and their childish crap.

I'm getting the pig!
I am definitely not defending *your* Nice Boss in particular, Hec, but something to keep in mind is that maybe she totally wants to tell you but she's been told she's not allowed to.
Even if you said something like, "you can be straight with me and I won't tell *anyone* that I heard it from you" is too risky for her (if she wants to tell you, that is). There's a number of people out there that could give a rat's patootie about taking others down with them when they find out they're being let go from a company.
Perhaps, and I could be wrong, but perhaps she's had bad luck in the past with a similar type of situation or has a vision of LA Boss telling you that you've been laid off and you yelling to LA Boss, "Yeah, fucko? I know! Nice Boss told me a week ago and I've been fucking up all kinds of computer programs and deleting Important Shit ever since!! EAT IT!"
Just a thought. I'm sorry you're getting a shitty deal but maybe hold off with the judgement on Nice Boss, if at all possible.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am so there. Why can't you go?

Emmett weekend. Hec may need the release of pent-up fury and despair, though, so I may well shove him out the door once Emmett's in bed and send him solo while I hold down the fort and gorge myself on What Not To Wear.

Hi. I'm Katerina. I'm into petty revenge and pointless acts of fury. I'm here to tap dance on your desk, kick papers around and yodel all damn day. Then I'll follow you home and warble under your window until you want to DIE DIE DIE.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think she's relinquished rights to that title. She may be had-no-other-choice boss, but not Nice Boss anymore.
Hereinafter? Weasel Boss.
but something to keep in mind is that maybe she totally wants to tell you but she's been told she's not allowed to.
Yeah, not good enough. I'm certain she's been expressly forbidden to talk to me about it, but you have to make your own moral choices. I'm not just an employee here - I work with her every day. I've helped her a lot since she's been here.
There's no downside to be honest with me when I ask a question like that. Just be square with me, and I'll be professional, wind things up and exit stage left. I don't know what they're afraid of. I'm not a raving loon. I'm not going to go in and maliciously monkeywrench the payroll database.
You don't have to lie to somebody to terminate them. You really fucking don't. If they feel bad about it, just give me a better severence. If they don't feel bad about it, just say, "You suck, goodbye."
It's like being fired by the guys from Dumb and Dumberer. Except it's more like Paranoid and Chickenshit.
