since ALL FIVE of your female bosses have been bitchy control freaks, clearly it's a sign that women aren't cut out for workplace management. we need to be where we can assert our full domination, uninterrupted. i mean, that was the entire point of your post, right? to rag on woman bosses and point out that they suck? i'm just taking it to the next logical conclusion.
Well, logical is debatable but OK. My comment was related to my experience with women bosses which is why I said why can't *I* find... You know, because I know they're out there.

lol "debatable." i'm pretty good at logic. for example: why point out that they're female at all, if all you're looking for is a good, non-bitchy boss?
I am going to the aquarium by myself today. I need something to do to get me out of the house and I think some quiet time is needed.
An old friend of mine posted a long apology for his behavior. Thing is, he has terrible, really hurtful opinions he insists on sharing at every chance, even out of the blue! Things like we shouldn't have welfare, people on government assistance are lazy, uneducated, worthless, and need to just find ajob. Things like gay marriage is a sin and filthy, and that HIS personal beliefs are the only way to think.
He has been this way since before highschool and his hatefullness has only gotten worse with time. He has lost many friends because of it. He has never had a girlfriend, job, or gone to any sort of length to better himself, yet does not realize the intense irony in that.
My FI has no issues moving forward, but has only gotten to really know him over the past year, while his oldest friends, myself included, may not be able to accept it and move forward. We already had started to keep him out of the loop because of some of the shit he has said and done.
I'd like to believe he has changed, but I am not sure I can. A shitty situation all around that I wish I had an answer for.
Sorry for venting out that text wall.
why are you friends with this dickhead?Â
I can't really say I am. I want him to be awesome, because he honestly used to be, but shortly before leaving highschool he just turned into this over the top asshole. I know I should just cut ties, but we've known each other since third grade.
I just paid $13 for deli sliced dried beef. I'm going to make a giant awesome pot of shit on a shingle (creamed chipped beef) and eat it with Grands Pillsbury biscuits. And I'm going to love every single second of its over salted awesomeness.
All of the female bosses I have had, including the current one, have all been huge bitches. HUGE. why can't I find a nice boss who isn't a control freak?
Not that this really matters, but my favorite manager I have had was a woman. She was all the things you wish for in managment, supportive, not a micromanager, etc. She ended up being displaced and I reported to a control freak. (I have since switched jobs). But you win some and you lose some, I think it is high time you look for a new role, if you have not clicked with 5 managers.
I am going to try and do some menu planning and take a grocery list template today, lol. I have physio and the dentist today too, then we might go see Despicable Me tonight
@damnation, how many bosses have you had in total?
I've had 3 full-time jobs since I graduated college. At those 3 companies I have had a total of 7 bosses. In addition, I've worked 6 different part-time jobs. Of those, I had maybe 8-10 different bosses?

At this point, it's probably you. An authoritative woman can be seen as a bitch, instead it's usually a person who gets shit done and is controlling because it shows results. You might be under the impression that a business woman in a position of authority is not nice, when in fact, she might very well be - outside of work. Some people go to work to work, some people go to work because they have friends there and it's just another day.
I don't know what kind of jobs you've had but if all of them are bitches, it very well could be how you interpret them.
I love my Pilot so much. I'd recommend it to anyone. And I got mine used. Way more affordable:)
I am seriously considering the pilot we need something that can separate the dogs from LO and still allow some Room for bags when we travel.
We usually put the dog in the back row/trunk when baby is in the second row. And then he figured out he can jump over the seat. Lol. It's NBD, all he does is lick her hands/feet, but I was surprised he figured it out. He's not the brightest.

I think the point to consider is that if every.female.boss.you.have is a controlling bitch, maybe JUST maybe the issue could be in part with you and how you relate to women in positions of authority over you. NOT SAYING THAT'S SO. Just saying, it's a possibility that you might look at. Because the odds of you having more female bosses over the next fifty years or so of your working life are pretty good and getting better, and if it's something that you can manage in part through self examination and alteration of your own behavior, you might be happier.
Just thinking out loud. It's a pretty remarkable coincidence that every woman you work for has turned out to be a complete control freak bitch.
I didn't realize it was remarkable but you might be right.
I've already started my day off stupid. I was trying to cut off a UPC symbol off a box of beer for a mail in rebate, without taking the beer out of the box...(you know where this is going)... and I punctured one of the cans. So now I had to wash all of the cans and my kitchen counter. Fuck. I'm ready for a do-over.

You are so right. My current boss is a huge bitch but she has a tough job and gets shit done. She's obviously not here to make friends but she has done a lot for the company. IDK. Thanks for the perspective.
I have a serious Sugar Babies addiction. Such deliciousness! So hard to find!
About a month ago I started running every other day at 5:30am. I am not a morning person. But man, is it nice to do when it's quiet and peaceful and then I have it out of the way! I am doing 3 miles right now, and am about to start training for a 10k. I started running Mother's Day.
We are looking or a new while for h, and now mine has started acting funny. Mine is the "good" car. If it dies, I will cry. Between this, medical bills, summer camp an a 20% increase I. Daycare costs, plus the upcoming house painting project I feel like we are hemorrhaging money.

I have a 2013, too. I had a 2010 and the dealer approached us around Christmas to trade in our old one for a 2013 model because they have such a hard time getting their hands on used ones. Whether that was just a line or not, they gave us a great deal on the upgrade and I LOVE it so much.
I wonder what it's like to go to the bathroom alone.
I hear it's glorious. I vaguely remember from pre-kids. It's amazing though, that no one ever bothers H in there, but the second I walk in there, it's a family event. Heck, even the cat shoves his paws under the door. No cat, I do not feel like playing while I'm pooping.
My Husband's trail cam got 5,557 photos of the deer in the woods. And about 50 of a raccoon squaring off with a doe. You see a pair of eyes in the tree, the next picture shows him half way down, then they are just staring at one another, then the raccoon is on the ground. The next 2 photos are them leaning their heads in to try to scare the other. The raccoon steals the food and runs back up the tree. And then the deer called it's posse over and 5 deer are all of a sudden there.
He also has one of, I believe, 2 bucks fighting. The one is up on it's back legs ready to box.
I'm just thankful that in all the months we've had that trail cam out, none of the pictures ever collected had a bear or coyote in them. We still have them, but they at least, aren't that close to the house.
Just got home from my yearly GYN visit and SO happy that it's over. Yeesh. I start dreading that appointment like a week ahead of time.
Of course, I ask her about info on permanent birth control options so we have some things to consider, and I get the, "You don't want kids? I would think on it for awhile. You may change your mind." She did give me pamphlets, but it was obvious she thought we will change our mind. We won't. So frustrating.
((Tamb)) I know the feeling that happened with Lillie. She ran out the front door and ran down by the creek and it was a huge drop from the ground to the water that would have killed her. It still shakes me up.
Our fucking computer system went down this morning. We couldn't get HIPPA signed, treatment consent, or anything. We had to scramble to find forms. It was ridiculous. I have now printed them all out and saved them in a secure spot.
Also, our fence installation is going to have to be postponed AGAIN. Damn rain. It was dry all last week but because they were behind and it was a holiday, they scheduled us for this Wed. And yesterday and today, it rained. This was already a reschedule since it was supposed to be done the 1st but we had a bunch of rain then too.
So now it may be Friday. It's just frustrating trying to figure out between H and I who will be here (I am off in the summer, but of course have work meetings this week!) Plus our dog goes flippin' nuts if people are in the yard, so it will be oh so fun with her here.
AND we just found a leak in the basement so the plumber's coming out Friday too. I need to remind myself I love home ownership.

I have a coworker who is being heinous to me and others. I don't know how she can get away with it. It's been so bad lately that people are actually speaking up and calling her out. She sent me an email yesterday that was SO NASTY that two people commented that it was out of line.
She won't get in trouble, and I don't really want her to, because she is really good at her job. I just want her to knock it off.

Lol, after everyone making a big stink about people getting it wrong in the ashbride thread, I found it funny. Ever since someone posted the picture of a hippo.
It wasn't meant to be a "damn you, you spelled it wrong!" I'm sure she'll catch her own mistake. We know what she meant regardless.
