Wow Kat--how long had your leg been hurting??
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've got the weekend to put together my thoughts on why my boss sucks eggs. Beyond the symptoms of the return of my nocturnal teeth grinding, tension headaches, migraines, anxiety dreams where argue with her and I punch her in the face and stuff her mouth with gravel (I haven't had anxiety dreams about colleagues since the evil ED) and develop a short temper more suited to the crazy and burnout that is more suited to April and May. She doesn't want to be in horticulture, age wants to tweet and Instagram and blog and Pinterest and send me funny cat videos and taint my love of Doctor Who.
I have months of concerns and grievances and I'm at the point if asking to be fired if the ED is too afraid to fire her. (She's his second hire, and the first was a disaster). It's that or take away her directorship and make her a secretary so she can continue to do the admin she loves s o much.
Shutting up now.
Omg you guys. Someone in the practice I work with was at a client dinner (on the client's dime), offered to choose the wine, and then ordered A $450 BOTTLE.
Wait, ordered a $450 bottle of wine on someone else's dime?? On their client's dime?? Good lord.
YES. I am all agog. And I can't tell anyone because it just happened last night and I really shouldn't know.
That's either epically ballsy or epically clueless. Either way, it's pretty amazing.
Yikes, Kat!!! Am also glad you got that checked out!
And, totally different yikes, Brenda!
Oh it's the latter. Hes kind of a pretentious little shit and very high on himself as a wine guy. And I actually like him well enough but come on.
Mr. Clueless shares an assistant with the guy I was traveling with today, to whom she is much more loyal. She shared a nugget of an email today from the head of the practice to mr. C ranting about reckless and irresponsible and unprofessional.
Oh my.
To think I got called out for taking a couple of colleagues out for a business lunch (that cost maybe $40) without getting it pre-approved. I can't imagine $450 on a bottle of wine on the client's dime.
