Battle of the Secretaries

I hate it that ever since the ONE time, about a year or more ago, that my boss didn't call back her boss in a timely manner, this woman assumes it was due to my negligence and not my boss's own doing. I gave him the message! And the message after that, damnit! She used her best mom voice and scolded me, saying "Well we've been waiting for his call and that's just NOT cool" and was quite personally offended. I apologized profusely but I didn't rat out my boss, so I will be taking the brunt of her bitchiness for... oh, eternity (or the length of my employment which hopefully comes first.) Ever since that little incident she gets pointedly snippy and uncooperative with me when she calls even though I kiss her ass. I can practically hear her cold, dead stare whenever I try to be light and friendly. At least I have the safety of only being over the phone and not in direct contact with her. I don't know. Menopausal much?


* I'll try to hold off on the work-related bitching at least for a while now. I know it's about as fun to read as... well, as it is to be here. Sorry about that.

if you can't gripe on your blog, where can you?

If she's so petty as to be that snotty about one event...then the problem is hers, not yours, and you won't ever do anything to please her. Imagine her with panties on her head whenever you have to talk to her.

I've been very lucky that in the almost 8 years I've worked at my present job, I can count on one hand the amount of pissy phone calls I've had. That's really saying a lot since 90% of my job is one the phone. Maybe your pissy caller will lose her job and never bother you again. You can always wish it, right?
