it was the fact that it's the first day of the month (work-wise) and i landed a new client within one hour of being in my office. $3000 for an hours presentation, on a whim, unprepared. BOSS was surprised by rather have something nice to say calls me into his office.
i go in. he tells me to shut the door (you would think that is bad, but he will insult you with or without the door being closed. BOSS starts right in:
1) i hope your little vacation on friday isn't the start of the old you. you were doing so good. i'd hate to see you calling in sick every week now. (um, a year ago i was sick and on the verge of a mental breakdown and took a week off). i have so much vaction time but can never take it. oh, but i am losing that anyway... - that's a whole 'nother blog topic i'll save for later in the week.
2) couldn't find this clients' info. i went through all of your stuff in your office and i am concerned because i did find this, he says. he pulls out something that i was working on for an outside charity. "i hope you don't spend all day doing stuff that isn't work related" - i did tell him that that was personal, not for him to have in his possession. i admitted that it was something i was doing on my lunch time since i don't leave my office for lunch. i don't even eat lunch because i get more and more crap piled on me. for some reason, he doesn't seem to think running a company is enough to do.
i digress.
so he gives me the weekly list of things i need to finish up on and update him on and then go back to my office. it's so depressing. i can't stand it.
