Aimee - how does this happen when you just got a "great job!" letter of ... um, when was that... last week?
and wtf with the letters?!?

[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.

Because books.
Seriously? Why is he sending you LETTERS? Also, WHY IS HE AN ENORMOUS FUCKWIT?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Aims, you okay?
Need me to gut a bitch? I'll take off work early.

Happy Birthday, K-Bug.
Don't know if anybody else has talked about it, but does anybody else find the commercial with the viking, the pilgrim, the polynesian dude, the roman guy, and Henry the VIII (and I *think* maybe one more...) are driving in the car and bust into Greensleeves as made of HI-larious as I do?

Damn, Aimee. That dude is a major fuckcake™.

I do! "Greensleeves..." Cracks me up every. time.
Happy, happy, happy birthday, K-Bug! Eat cake! Be merry! Have fun!

My favorite commercial is the Sprint guy who starts getting excited and using the teen slang "I'm grabbing my cellie and kickin' it with my boys" and then his daughter says "dad!" and he calms down sheepishly.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aimee, that is astoundingly insane, approaching evil. In your shoes, I would ask for lots of examples, take notes of what he says, time and date it, have him look it over (cast it as being sure I was really understanding what he wants) then initial and date it himself.

Aimee, that's just craziness.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aimée, he's being a *huge* and extremely passive-aggressive dick. And, ugh, that "I need more and I need it now" without any specifics as to what he expects more of is giving me creepy my-ex-boss vibes. Since he's a passive-aggressive prick, he'll probably back down and make unspecific grumpy noises and do nothing if you stand up to him, but that's no kind of place to work. If you haven't already sent a letter of inquiry to that other company that wanted you so badly last year, DO IT.
And, yes, MM, that commercial is funnier than shit. Although I of course always thought the Pilgrim was a Puritan.
