    Got one page back & saw BDINI's rant - I am so ANGRY that someone in a supervisory role should treat you like that. I know you've had lots of really good advice/suggestions but just a thought - if he will not document everything that has been discussed on the pretence that it wont look good on your file I would tell him that if he is not prepared to document it then you cannot regard it as a constructive comment on your performance & you will ignore it.

    Big hug & chin up for when the little bar steward get back from his hols (hope its p*ssed with rain all over him too)

    Thanks silvasaver, i must hold myself together enough to not turn into a gibbering jelly next time he has me in the office, then i might actually be able to say that to him!!
    Trouble is he's such a backstabber i reckon he will do what he wants regardless of whether i ignore him or not!!

    Oh well, still 2 more days off & bless him my little old man friend is trying so hard to cheer me up, he's taking me to the seaside to see his sister tomorrow, i think a bit of bracing sea air is just what i need (if the rain holds off that is!!)

    & i weighed myself today & i am finally under 10 stone :j:j
    I'm not very good at dieting, so all the pain in the gym must be paying off!! I'm celebrating with the left over red from last night :beer:

    Oh & before i have to blame the wine, it's number 15 for me today :j

    I added another 2 to your total so far which means you hit your target :j:j (as long as you don't spend at that car booty today) Well done.

    Me again - I'm sorry :o

    Would anyone mind if I started September's thread today? It's still a bit early but I won't have much time through the week to get it up and running.
    I had to double check the date this morning and then sat and stared at it for ages thinking that it couldn't possibly be nearly the end of August already :eek: Where has this year gone??? Washed away with all the rain I suspect :mad:

    Anyway, I'll just bash on with it I think and post the link later. Hope that's okay with you all.

    Please make sure you take a witness in next time Mouth Almighty calls you to the office. Is there someone at work who would do that for you, or else join a union ASAP to get some support. As others have said, what he is doing to you is Harrassment, & he cannot be allowed to get away with it.
    Another option would be to invest in a dictaphone(sp?) & smile sweetly as you say "You don't mind if I record this for MY records do you?"
    Good Luck mate; sending vibes to strengthen that backbone & my second best set of gnashers if you break yer teef on a stick of rock at the beach :D

    Meanwhile..back at the day job..me muvva 'n me have been a right pair of miseries. Neither of us have felt like going out, but that does mean I'm up to a baker's dozen now :j Number 13 checked in yesterday--rather late so sshhhh--so I need to find some more nsd cups before they wake for brekkie. Let's hope they all send postcards inviting their rellies to join them :T

    By all means-though I can't believe that it's almost September!
