HALLELUJAH, I GOT A NEW JOB!!! Devil boss, BEGONE! →[More:]

In your face, poo head boss! The firm I'll be working at is wonderful and is paying me well and has freaking amazing benefits! And best of all, THERE WILL BE NO ONE THERE AS CRAZY AS MY BOSS.

It's the first place I interviewed at, and they asked me for a second interview the same day I met them, and they made me an offer a hour after I talked with them a second time, and they want me and think I'm awesome!

WOO!

Thank you all for your support about the crazy boss.

O that's really good, Specklet - this is something that's been a long time coming. Crazy boss has been driving you mad for quite a while! Bad jobs really have a way of dragging you down in every part of your life.

Yay!!!! Congrats! I bet you will be counting the days until you are gone, and it won't matter anyhow what she does because you won't have to deal with her anymore! What a great holiday present to yourself!!

Great to hear it. Krazy boss was toxic.

posted by arse_hat 08 December | 00:58

So glad for that, spec. It's really perfect-with-a-cherry-on-top that they are so enthusiastic about you, and made it really clear that they didn't want to let you slip by. You've got to be feeling super good, and you so deserve it after all that misery. When do you start?

posted by taz 08 December | 01:57

That's wonderful!

On your last day, hand her an engineer's scale and say "You don't measure up!" (or, "stick it where the sun don't shine" if that's more like it)

Congrats! What a relief.

You said a mouthful, sir.

Most excellent news and I have much happiness for you!

I have been acting in a job that I absolutely loved for the past 6 weeks and was supposed to get a chance to apply for long-term, but now won't because someone else fucked up - now I have a short stint in a job that I can already tell I am going to loath, not to mention that, following a hand-over, I am gob-smacked that someone can let their work get so fucking far behind and then hand the job over to someone else without the blink of an eye. I mean, what the fuck, bitch? How can you do that to someone? Is it because you know I'll work my arse off to bring everything up to date because I can't bear to hand the job over to someone else unless everything is squared away? Do you just not care about other people THAT MUCH? Plus, you could have cleaned your fucking filthy, dusty, smelly desk - did you notice how shiny and clean the desk I vacated was? Did that make you think "hmmm, maybe I should duck over and clean up after myself" Well, did it, bitch?

umm, sorry to rain on your parade Yay, specklet!!!
