One of the things I love the most about the new building and the office space that puts Seth as far away from me as he can possibly be and still be in the same building. The less I have to see of this man during the day, the happier my work environment is.
For the many new people here who haven't heard me talk that much about him, Seth is someone who works with me, not actually my boss though he thinks that he is. He likes to be in control of absolutely everything and will bitch and whine when he doesn't get what he wants. He thinks he's better than you and he makes certain you know it, you are little more than dirt beneath his feet. He feels he is too good to do any actual work, he has said in blunt terms that he does not do manual labor, and in case you're wondering manual labor means picking up a medium or even light weight box that happens to be in your way or ever loading anything yourself into that rancid dumpster you call a car, he will get you to do it for him instead. He also seems to have no social skills, hygiene problems and boundary issues. He rarely seems to shower, shave or brush his hair; he'll wear the same clothes several days in a row and his clothes often huge holes in them that would cause almost anyone else to throw them out, pants that often seem to be falling right off of him; and he thinks absolutely nothing about pulling up his shirt to scratch his stomach (or just simply for the fuck of it) or even scratching his balls or his ass right in front of you while he is talking to you like you're not even there. A real charmer this one is, let me tell you, one of my long standing sources of stress in this job.
But as much as I love the distance between us, that is a real long to take when you need to find out if he's done any of the paperwork we've all been waiting forever for, or bring him something expecting him to do something about it, only to walk back again empty handed. I made that walk several times today, several times too many.
I guess he's got some sort of a computer virus being stupid online and he's upstairs battling with it and not getting anything done. He's also in a fucking mood and snapping at everyone who comes to talk to him. Its not as though I'm going all the way up there to see him for his oh so pleasing company; I'm up there because the woman who hands me money at the end of the week told me to go up there, so if you got an issue I suggest you take it up with her. Not that he would do that, I think he knows Anna is growing very tired with him thinking and acting like he runs the place, I don't think he'd risk pissing her off too much right now.
He was coming close a couple times. Making that walk over and over again just to get my head bitten off ... few more times around and it would have been, "Now you listen to me, you hairy shitball-" and off we go. I've been biting my tongue with him since I've been there, I have so much shit stocked up over this last more than a year now that if he ever does push me too far and the floodgates open up, he is going to drown in it.
Somehow I think I could get away with that right now. He has been out of Anna's favor since his fight with his friends caused her to move her business. She would understand why I might explode at him. And though he thinks otherwise, she is my only boss and the only one with the power to fire me (if it were up to him I'd be long gone by now, I know he thinks I'm useless which is strange considering how much he depends on me to do, like lift those big heavy boxes and carry them out to your car so you don't have to).
Oh well, work is over. And I'm trying to take a break from all stressful shit and just hang out with Loki today. I bought some food offerings while I was at the store. I'm going to watch Oz season one disk one that came for me today, cook food then go up and hang out before heading off to bed.
I've been so busy with Hermes lately, and I've always had problems with neglecting my secondary relationships. Just not enough energy in the day sometimes. I need to learn to plan my time better.
