It was just that ridiculous.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And, tommyrot, I am so sorry for hijacking your birthday. You are one of the most awesomest of the Buffistas and totally deserve a birthdaylicious day in Natter.
Oh, don't worry about it. And thanks for the great compliment!
I blame my ex-bosses.
Truly, they are wankers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
he prided himself on being able to read people but he couldn't read me at all and never knew what I was thinking or feeling
Translation: He is such a giant wanker that he can't even get validation of his non-wanker status on the internet like a normal person, and so expects to be buying it from his underlings.
People who talk about how well they read people are very much like (and often overlapping with) people who announce that they're nice guys. Totally a jackwad to get away from.
Yes, this exactly. "I'm good at reading people" is classic Nice Guy™ behavior. IOW, ew.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
my little telephone keyboard cannot contain my annoyance ar jz's former bosses! I hope that this is a signal of good things to come. I am with those who think there are deeper issues here.

I have fantasy shopped a fair stack of goodness at title nine, yet again. (they seem to have the only sports bra I can actually exercise in without giving myself a chin-first concussion). Now, if I buy some of this, does it mean that I will (should, might, whatever) get back into regularly scheduled exercise out of inspiration, or guilt?

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
If you decide to go back to your old job for a while, JZ, it will be, at most, a strategic retreat in order to regroup. Your old boss knows that you'll ultimately need a different job, and he seems to have been supportive.
Ginger makes a very good point here.

Our wings are not tired.
{{JZ}} What they all said. I'm sorry for the shock and hurt you are feeling right now, but clearly you need to run as fast as possible away from this place and put the memory behind you. I've been working for 35 years or so and it has been my experience 100% of the time that the failure to communicate the expectations of the position is the employers fault. If at any point they had expressed a major issue with your work you would have noticed, unless of course you were supposed to be a mind reader. Communication may be a two way street, but the primary responsibility for expressing expectations logically belongs with the employer.
They are unworthy. There will be another opportunity where you will be appreciated. Bask in the loving support of those around you. I wish I could hug you in person.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
JZ, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's unbelievable. My beliefery is gobsmackified. It's stuck on "They don't want JZ there anymore? How does that even work?"
Incidentally, I would run screaming from a boss who expected to be able to 'read me'. I come to work for a paycheque, not dimestore psychoanalysis.
Take care of yourself. This was their problem. It sucks that it puts you in a difficult spot now, and sucks even more that they try to put it on you (incidentally, I would run screaming from a boss who expected to be able to 'read me'. I come to work for a paycheque, not dimestore psychoanalysis), but three months from now you'll be better off without having to deal with them.
