I fear that throwing a hissy fit at this time would end up with option 3 ~ all it would do is please my inner Diva and then I would have to live off baked beans forever whilst She basked in the 'well she was always difficult' smugness.

Exactly.

That urge to throw a hissy fit? That's the death instinct.

Don't listen to it.

This. What you need is to find a way to vent when you get home. Doing this is a great start, don't get me wrong. I'd say screaming into a pillow is quite therapeutic.

But it is so strong :klingon:

The other way would just be to point out all the mistakes she's making which would be petty and puerile.

I'm above this.

Fuck it ~ no I'm not...

I fear a lot of sarcastic eyebrow raising will be in force tomorrow ~ that and a lot of cellar work :D
 
I always go with the hissy fit option.

I'm going to put my highest heels in the car just in case :)

Does kicking the cat that just set fire to it's tale count?

To Shameless :P LOL
 
You could always tape your mouth shut. ;)

And go purple in the face... No, not an option.

Anyway chaps, the last cigarette has been smoked, the last wine drunk and I have to retire to bed with my burnt tailed cat and dream of the fun tomorrow.

Thanks for all comments and advice. :) I will have holes in my tongue tomorrow from biting it :borg:

And Shameless I hope you found Josh ;)

It's probably useless to point out mistakes. She is probably just incompetent, lacking in multi task skills, unable to see what priorities there are in that environment. She might fix a series of single mistakes but probably not learn how to function without repeating similar ones.
 
All this reminds me of my manager when i was at Disneyland. She was completely numbers-oriented and the worst person to handle any sort of personnel decisions. She caused a lot of shit with her mistakes and caused a lot of people got pissed off.
 
Well, I'd go with the inner 'fuck it' as well.

The thing is to be as helpful and considerate to others in the place, while giving her the absolute minimum as politely as possible. It's a balancing act, and tricky, but it can be fun.

Let them hang themselves by their own petard. Karma and all that.

Oh this is going to be a fun day... Just had a phone call from work, not from Her but from the Saturday girl
"Can you get some things on your way in? *list*"
Me "yes because you know how I love going to the supermarket on Sat mornings"
"Can't you get it from your shop round the corner?"
"last time I looked they didn't sell pitted olives :rolleyes:. I'll see you in a bit" to myself 'in a good bit' :devil:

S'pose I better start off ~ it's 10.45 and I've still got the shop to go to ~ just finish this beer :devil:
 
Remember: there are four basic types of behaviour.

1. Behaviour that benefits both you and others.
2. Behaviour that benefits you, but harms others.
3. Behaviour that harms you, but benefits others.
4. Behaviour that harms both you and others.

A hissy fit sounds like option 4 to me.

Try to find some solution that fits option 1. Failing that, go for option 2. That's what a truly evil person would do.
Seems you are a supporter of Carlo Cipolla's work. :D
 
The OP's posts remind me of that scene in Nine to Five, with Lily Tomlin poisoning her boss... :D

:guffaw:

make sure you do some important window shopping on the way!

Hmm, don't shop for her on your time.

Oh it took me a 'good hour' to find those olives ;)

Knew the chef and was able to anticipate her demands and smugly say 'done'. Caught a few discrete :rolleyes: from the Chef when Boss was running around like a headless chicken. :lol:

Turned to Boss and asked if she'd checked we had enough cutlery? Where does the buffet table go? Are the plates washed, dried and counted? Are they eating inside or out? Do we have enough chairs outside? Are the condiments outside? We don't have any change in the till.

Basically decided to take charge, talked to the club secretary about what he wanted, blah blah blah... and all went smoothly. I love being 'front of house' and blaming the kitchen for mistakes ~ especially when you can smooze with them and make it up, then they just think you're brilliant :lol:

Did spend a lot of the time in the cellar 'sorting out the postmix' ~ otherwise called sitting in the corner with wine and Josh from the Gym ;) Who got a large plate of buffet food, as did Big Ryan ~ but he gives me free polos so that's ok. I just have this feeling that she is going to count the slices of meat that are missing :guffaw: And I don't care :devil:

See! This is what she has done to me :scream:

At least I got buffet leftovers and don't have to cook tonight.

All is well. For another 3 days at least, when I have to return :evil:


To Holdy ~ I actually have to wear that uniform and am constantly surrounded by animals ~ sorry golfers :)
 
Hee, it sounds as if you had a good time, and well done on grabbing a doggie bag as well. :bolian: I agree with others that Karma is going to catch up with this incompetent twit and bite her where it counts. People can only bluff their way through for so long before they're exposed.

:guffaw:I must admit it was fun. And from now on she will be known as Twit, a perfect description, thank you :D

:lol:

I'm actually watching the Augusta Masters as we speak, so will not comment on the animals part. The mental image of you in a Snow White uniform is distracting enough. ;)

*holds out her hand for a bluebird to land on and pets a deer with the other* ;)
Trouble is with golfers, they keep losing their balls down those little holes. If I was playing I'd aim for the sand and carry a picnic basket :)

I like the cut of yer jib. :)

Aaaarrr. If I went to work dressed as a pirate would I look more ridiculous than the golfers? :vulcan:

Exactly.

The one thing that disturbed me about the way K'Ehleyr was talking was that it almost sounded like it was OK to make the customers pay for this grudge against the boss. Even if the boss is a total moron, that kind of thing will just give the boss all the ammo she needs to make it look like K'E's problem and not hers at all.
