No, that's his subliminal mind control tool to make the OP more susceptible to his advice.

I agree with 2xloser.

Congrats on the good news!

This should help your healing and R a lot.

Thanks, everyone.

I won't lie...sometimes it's difficult. A month or so ago, W asked me to stop making my snarky comments and observations about his actions at work. Not because she was defending him, but because those comments ramped her guilt for shoving his existence into our lives and the pain she caused me in doing so. Fortunately, I have some good friends who know the story who are fine with me texting those comments and observations if I absolutely must share them with someone.

Like last night, near the end of the evening, he started randomly snapping pictures of people. One of te women asked him, "(OM), what's wrong with you?" I was so very tempted to pipe up and say, "Do you want the whole list, or just the top 40?"

And now, as of last Friday, he's been pulled back into the office due to attendance and performance issues. (Really? How do you have attendance issues when your commute to work consists of getting out of bed and walking into another room...if that much?) So far, we're doing ok. It helped that I got to toss him under a bus yesterday. We have a pretty strict "no personal computers/tablets" policy, as well as a strict Internet use policy. Last night, he had an iPad out, surfing cheesecake/lingerie pictures. As the supervisor on duty, I emailed his manager about it. Lookin forward to seeing what happens.

I'm sure that these two sentences occurring simultaneously in your last post are entirely coincidental

hang in there

Thanks, iheart.

A little earlier, he had the iPad out again (in the middle of the day, with management around...entitled much?), albeit it didn't look like it was blatantly inappropriate content this time. I let his manager know, but it was put away by the time the manager got to his desk. A few minutes later, though, HR came by so I could tell them what I saw last night. Thinking about fixing some popcorn and watching the show.

I work in an office in downtown Dallas and this made me look around for iPad users lol.

Back in the dark ages, when people could go outside for a smoke, I worked near the door the smokers went through to get there. After about 6 months of watching a continuous troop of people in and out, I decided to start logging it. It turned out that 90% of them (about 1/3 of our workforce) were spending more than 2 hours a day for these two 15-minute smoke breaks. Between walking out there (outside my window), smoking, talking, eating a snack, drinking a coke, going to the next building to visit somenoe, talking about coming back in, getting ready to come back in, standing up to come back in, walking in, and finally getting to their seats.

I wrote up a spreadsheet showing the boss how much time they were using up (i.e. not working) every day. Then I asked to start working 6 1/2 hour workdays and still get paid for it, since that's what THEY were getting.

Said boss put a stop to it the next week.

Under the Mosaic Covenant this piece of **** would be stoned to death.

Just saying.

I might be missing the boat I was just wondering how your wife got involved with this idiot. If you don't feel like going back there please ignore me. I am just curious as to what happened.

Grayson · 06-14-2012, 05:13 PM

Guess who go walked out about an hour ago. :-)
