Bloody hell.

Dear Anonymous,

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been missing the tales spun here at the OOD. You see, I've been busy living in what is obviously the 3rd or 4th layer of hell. As you know, I left the OOD and am now currently employed at the HOOD (no, not Compton) but the Home Office Of Doom and it sucks. It sucks big time. The actually working from home doesn't suck completely but my "not boss" does suck and is fucking crazy. Is it possible that I'm a crazy magnet? I think it very well might be.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but when one is self-employed, HOOD style, can said "not boss" tell you how to do your job? Can the "not boss" dictate your schedule? Can the "not boss" tell you how much time can lapse prior to returning a phone call? And please tell me must the "not boss" call me 20 times a day to see if I've wiped my ass?

Doesn't that sort of violate the entire concept of being self-employeed? Am I paying my own taxes and benefits to still be bossed around by the "not boss" who is in fact acting like a boss!?!

Un-freaking-believable.

  1. OH, Lo....That really sucks about your "not boss." Red writing on e-mails is just plain stupid....Plus, who really rakes a new person over the coals...that's a tad bit mean.

  2. Not boss does that's who. And it's happened more than once. Not a good sign.
