Oh, CANADUH!

My boss is still a prick. He did not say one single word to me all day, except to mutter, "Oh, OK," when I told him markers for the flip chart were coming. No apology. Nothing. Fuck it. I have worked there for nine and a half years, and had a very large hand in helping make it the company it is today, so if he can't appreciate that... Hmph

I'm sorry, Ronno. I know it stings sometimes. It's hard not to, but it's important that we never forget who he is because really, on a foundational level, that will never change - even if we see a flash of something that leads us to believe that it may. Or even if there are outstanding circumstances that lead us to believe that some recognition or appreciation is called for... it will always be about him. He worked harder. It was HIS idea in the first place. Etc... etc... Preaching to the choir, I know.

Every time I have expectations of him being a closer-to-normal human being in terms of appreciation, social graces or emotional intelligence, I remember him coming up to me after my miscarriage and saying, "I'm sorry you've been through a rough time. But, it wasn't a planned pregnancy anyway, was it?" That brings my expectations of him back down to the level they should be at.

I hope that tomorrow is quick and relatively painless, my friend.
