but there is definitely something weird going on there.
Cocaine? Narcissism? Both? Assholery?

[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.

bonny,
he is a passive aggressive shit, to start.

Yeah. Both of you are on to something.
I think he may be drinking much more than anyone suspects. He said he didn't eat his dinner because he was 'full from drinking too much water.'
He is a skinny as a rail, and now I'm wondering if he has the sort of problems with his stomach that drove my alcoholic father to drink his vodka in milk.

I've been kinda quiet but reading everything here, and I would like the universe to stop being so crappy and/or confusing to you folks.
Guess who was invited to go out for drinks after work tomorrow with her boss? Guess who is kinda-sorta-maybe freaking out that her boss is going to tell her she's a horrible slacker employee and should start looking for someplace else to work, but with drinks to cushion the blow?
No, there's probably no real reason for my paranoia, and my boss is really cool. But work is full of chaos and stress right now, which makes me twitchy.

My experience has been that horrible-slacker-employee conversations take place in offices.

Sounds like an overture to "We want you to be more visible/responsible/paid lots more money" thing to me.

You might be getting a promotion.

What they said, Jilli. The boss isn't going to take you out for drinks for a come-to-Jesus meeting.

Pfft, they don't go out for drinks to do that!
They don't want to hang out with you when they're giving bad news.
That's for in-office so you can shoo them away.

I hope all of you are right. I'm pretty sure all of you are right. But we are so freaking understaffed right now that everyone on my team feels like they're juggling chainsaws that are on fire, and I feel like I've been dropping things all over the place.
Now, if I could drop one of those flaming chainsaw projects on, say, the PM who is being passive-aggressive and trying to drive a wedge between me and my boss? That would be great.
(Gaaaaah! Why are the demons of low self-esteem out to get me tonight? Going out to drinks with the boss is probably not a preamble to getting fired, Jillian!)
