Hello TDQO

I get what you mean about the travel thing for work, although I've never travelled as far as you do for work, mainly UK but I used yo get fed up with the "how glamorous" stuff, yeah, if you call travelling on your own, staying in hotels on your own & eating most nights on your own, unless someone from the local office you took pity on me & take me out to dinner glamorous then I think not.

With regards to the shoes / trousers are there no Tesco's near you or Matalan, sorry can't think of any other shops with value for money, reasonable stuff, is it worth waiting until you fly & trying the duty-free shops - on second thoughts probably not, prices bound to be high to catch out all those unsuspecting tourists :rotfl:

Thanks for that, unfortunately asda is the only good sized supermarket here. I can't really afford to travel to Truro to go shopping either... dammit!

I'm still laughing at SuSu and Mikey from Boyzone!!!

It cheered up the crap day I had myself. My boss is back from his holidays and today he decided to shout across the office, "Your report's rubbish" in front of about 20 other people to me.

I'm really confident in most areas of my life - set me a challenge and I'll do it no problem, but ask me not to want to cry when someone raises their voice to me? Nope. I'm a bit of a gentle soul really. Very deep, complex, a real dreamer, loads of interests, reasonably strong-willed, can withstand the pain barrier enough to run a marathon with zero training, but put me in a position where someone criticises me directly, and I feel all cack and worthless and want to burst into tears. Managed to fend them off today though even if the temptation was there to run into the toilets and bawl my eyes out. My boss is a really decent guy, but the fact it was said in front of all my colleagues and at such a volume level made me feel like dirt. Not nice. For him to say something like that was pretty nasty.

Still, tomorrow is another day - I'm going to run a hot bath, finish off a great book (Robert Wagner - see my Hart to Hart obsession remains!) and watch some old videos that I'm coverting to DVD (last night was two episodes of Alf!)

ouch that was a bit nasty :mad: im sure asking to speak to you would of been a far more nicer way of handling it not very prefessional at all. even if he was having a bad first day back there is still no need for that

I know it sounds daft, but have you considered approaching him 1-2-1 and telling him that you didn't like what he did and ask him not to do it again? You don't have to tell him why or justify it at all.
Believe me. It is truly liberating - even if he doesn't comply.

I'd love to be able to ask him not to do it again. Unfortunately it's one of things he does. He knows that it's quite intimidating - and people have told him - but that's just his way. Really nice guy that I enjoy working with 99.9% of the time, but you're always waiting for that tiny little side just to explode out. He knows I don't like it as I told him at our 1:1 that he can be quite intimidating at times and that wasn't just me who had the same coversation with him. I guess he doesn't see it from his subordinates viewpoint. Mind you, some people have said in previous jobs that they find me intimidating because I'm so quiet - can't win! I guess it's difficult to know what other people think of us at times as we're in the eye of the storm.

My Mum always said I was a great kid because all she would have to do was raise her voice slightly and I would behave. Other kids would be getting hauled around supermarkets by the ear while I would hear one hint of a raised voice and that would be me - little angel! I hate people shouting. Even on day one at school I can remember one boy at school getting shouted at by the teacher and I remember thinking, "I'd die with embarrassment if that was me". 27 years later and I think I almost did today!
