Wow. And I thought I had revenge fantasies!
I don’t know where she parks her car in the 14-story garage, so any car fantasies are out, alas.
I don’t want to do anything nasty to her computer because that would come back to haunt our IT guy, who is one of the few people I really do NOT want to cause problems for because he’s been a good friend. (Which also lets out going in to where the whole network switch is sitting out in the open in a copy room and, wearing gloves, of course, just playing 52-pick-up with the plugs…)
Something stinky is always nice, but the amount of perfume stench filling her area is so strong that I doubt it would do much good. Although I suppose I could pick up a nice, steaming pile left by one of my two large dogs and mail it to her. A tempting thought.
Complaining over OA’s head will do ZERO good. Millionaire owners (who directly hired her to be their hatchet man) were bragging this week about the new Rembrandt they just purchased. Need I mention that they love, love, LOVE her because she maximizes their $$$ (at the expense of us peon staff, of course)? And this being a partnership, not a corporation, basically it means we’re all screwed.
No, I’m just busy assuring everyone that it’s just SO easy to go out and find a better-paying job. Last I heard, three more coworkers are busy looking as of this week. Pretty soon the whole staff is going to flee. I hope.
So, to the folks who suggested i just take the high road: You’re probably right. Alas. I suspect that’s the way I’ll end up handling it. Especially since she asked a coworker why I was leaving yesterday, and coworker, bless her little heart, replied, “Because she found a job with better hours, better pay, and better benefits.” Hee!
Of course, today I have it in for OA, too. Papa Tiger called me about 30 seconds after I got to work today to tell me he’d just received a layoff notice. Granted, we’d been fearing it would happen, but you’re never really prepared, you know? So I go in to OA’s office, visibly upset (in tears, actually), and tell her I need to go home to see Papa Tiger, and what’s her reaction? Does she say, “I’m sorry”? Does she say, “That’s a shame”? Does she display ANY human feeling at all? No, the sick bitch looks at me challengingly and says in a highly accusing voice, “Well, you KNEW this was going to happen, didn’t you?”
Fuck.
