And now we go again...

Moorviews

The framed photos look stunning and I love the wreath! Sorry about the boss being as she is; some people are very strange and unpleasant unfortunately. I hope you can find a better option next year 🤞

I saw you'd been to a Turkish supermarket SA - you found the big bags of smoked paprika too if I remember rightly?!  I've been halfheartedly looking around for a while to see what else might be a possibility Moorviews, and will continue to do so, although of course the issue with being in this sort of environment is that you find yourself wondering if anywhere else would even be any better! 

Madam is what she is, and has always been the same. Part of the problem is that she went straight from uni to the firm a family member was a partner at - that is why she went there. She's never done anything more junior, and so treats those who are in support rolls with contempt. Goodness knows where she got it from as her family member is lovely - and wouldn't dream of speaking to people as she does! When Lovely Mr Boss was here he was extremely open about the fact that when they took the step to employ me (long termers might recall that I was here on a self employed basis before that) he was clear with her from the outset that he would manage the employment stuff - and that was of course the reason why. She got a bit lippy again this morning, and having resoundingly had enough, I politely and coolly called her out on it - unsurprisingly, and as is the way with bullies, the atmosphere has been much improved since. That's probably part of the battle to be honest - I need to be braver about just speaking up and saying "enough".
