TheNewGirl 1,031 Posted May 1, 2007 Sunday night, I did something to my eye - scratched it really bad or something. It was bright red, the white part of my eye was actually swollen, and I woke up yesterday morning with the eye lid puffy as fock and red. So, I emailed my boss, let her know that I was making an appt with the opthalmologist and that I didn't know what time I would be in, as they would have to call me back. Here is an email that she sent me: No worries - - I am actually in the office today - - can you believe it. You take care of that eye!! I know I have been pretty much a goner these past few weeks - - so my apologies for that - - - You have been a great job holding down the fort. . . And as I said to [Admin's Name] - - take advantage of the slow days and enjoy the spring and you family - - as with all things - the busy times come and go in spurts - - and often the busy times out number the slow ones - - so don't feel guilty about taking advantage of the slow times. Now, I sent her something this AM and got her out of office - she's out until the 10th in Hawaii at our company's sales and service meeting. No access to email or voicemail. Also, the admin isn't here today...she's usually in around 8 AM. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungwater 588 Posted May 1, 2007 she thinks you're out screwing around.. Just because she doesn't have access to email doesn't mean that she won't be checking in.. Classic move, "I'll be out of pocket for a while" all the while attending meetings remembering the stuff that needs to get done.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Groundhog 24 Posted May 1, 2007 I think you can take this one of two ways: a. She's saying "sure...sure...wink wink...eye problem...yep, go get it checked out, you lying minx...don't think I'm not onto you" or b. How long can an appt. at the eye doctor's take? An hour? Two hours? Maybe she's saying "go get it checked out, and after you're done, take the rest of the day off - you've earned it". Methinks it's more likely b.

Toro 1 Posted May 1, 2007 "I can make a hat, a broach, or a pterodactyl!" That sh*t is hilarity. ALSO@#$!@$#! I think you're really stretching for ways to talk about yourself here. When TNG posts something about her life, she's an attention wh0re. MDC posts EVERYTHING about his life, and she's an attention wh0re? Hypocrite much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gocolts 300 Posted May 1, 2007 I think you're really stretching for ways to talk about yourself here. So the fock what if she is. That is one thing I like about this once greta bored. People willing to talk about what is going on in their lives. I think TNG is one of the top posters here. This so called "Attention hor" shiat is getting really really old. Enough already.

shovelheadt 62 Posted May 1, 2007 I think you're really stretching for ways to talk about yourself here. I agree, sort of. What input are you looking for here? I'm confused as to what you "think" your boss is getting at. So the fock what if she is. Are you her boss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She seems to be feeling guilty for not being there lately and is telling you to take care of your stuff. Trust me. I am correct in this. Either that, or you are nagging her too much.
