Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

my designer ate at a yummy thai place for dinner. He didn't finish his food. So he got a doggy bag. And it's stinking up the theater now. Hello! There is a fridge in the greenroom! "nah, its too far away to walk". Grrrrrrrrrr.

No fair, omnis. This should only be allowable if he brought enough to share with everyone!

o no. He got spice level 10. no way my belly/sinuses/tastebuds could handle that (I usually get 3-5). Plus, festering in the theater, it actually smells kinda nasty, not yummy fresh at all.

Maybe if you worked in the Pentagon. I don't wish anyone food poisoning, but....

Thrive to spite them
It seems the tummy problems are contagious through the intertubes. I've had some mild problems the last few days but it got worse so I called in sick, which if what I have is contagious my coworkers will probably thank me.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
No tummy problems over here - please.
Instead, I seem to be dinging myself up. I have bandaids on two fingers so far this morning. I am not a bandaid person, so this feels weird.

Come to work today. Boss is not here.
Go into HR for talk.
Big Boss IS mad that I've been out sick. I point out that this is unreasonable. HR person agrees. I point out that I need to be reassigned.
"Well, nobody is going to be happy with your attendance... you always have a good reason for being late, but you're late a lot"
"No I'm not"
"Well, Big Boss says you are"
"Well, I think we've established that Big Boss has unreasonable expectations. Have you checked the actual time sheets or are you taking her word for it?"
I was practically crying. "Look, I can't spend two days at home sick worried that my boss is mad. I need to be reassigned."
This is now my mantra "I need to be reassigned"
Then I get to hear about how big boss is rough on everybody. I point out how she's rough on me daily. This goes back and forth for a while. I tell HR person that I need to work half a day and go home (if we work half a day we can make up the time and don't need to use a sick day.) HR person tells me to send an email about the half day.
I send around the following to HR, Big Boss, Little Boss, Other Assistant:
I'm still very ill. I'm here but am going to do my best to leave by 1:30.
Thanks for your patience in the craziness,
TB
Big Boss replies (remotely, as she is out):
If you are very ill, then you should just go home now. N
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I went and told HR chick that since I dragged myself into the office I'm not interested in using up one of my sick days. This is insane.
Asked HR chick if I need to start sending out my resume. She says "no". I'm thinking "yes".
It really can't be my problem that they can't deal with her. (which is their mantra -- "she's my boss too, I can't tell her no") Really? Then she's going continue to have a new secretary every 18 months or so and I don't think ANYBODY likes that.
It is entirely possible, btw, that in the upcoming shuffle that I will just be reassigned but that HR won't commit to that -- they are notoriously secretive about these things.
I pointed out the merits of reassigning: I keep my job, you keep a good secretary, boss gets her next secretary trained.
Man, I cannot deal with this -- particulary when sick as hell.
