ass kissing and more...

yesterday at work (no surprise there right?!), my boss took her team out to lunch. it wasn't anything special, we just all met at the olive garden. it was of course really awkward and most every one seem really uncomfortable engaging in small talk with each other. i found this totally amusing...watching a group of people who so clearly detest each other try to figure out how to nicely speak to one another over lunch. even my boss seemed really uneasy. but the best part of the whole thing was my grammatically challenged co-worker...she of course, sat right next to my boss and proceeded to chat the entire time. but it wasn't just normal chatter, it was like a monkey chattering at the zoo to all the strangers walking by. there was no purpose to it or any kind of intent...she just sat there chattering...even after it became very clear that my boss wasn't paying any attention, she chattered on...it was the most forward display of ass kissing i have ever seen. of course in my head all i could think of was the phrase, 'ass kissery'...not sure why, but i thougt it was funny.

my boss has this tick, when things are said that annoy her, she gets this twitch above her left eye. it is really obvious, at least to me, when this happens, she starts to rub the area above her eye in irritation. there have been plenty of times while talking to her that i have noticed this twitch and i know to quickly spin whatever it is that i am saying to her in order to stop the twitching. grammatically challenged co-worker doesn't have this kind of observation...
so as you can imagine it is awesome to watch! she just keeps talking and talking and talking, completely oblivious that she is annoying the hell out of everyone around her, most of all the boss! really i think i have some kind of sickness! :-)

in other news, today, the boss' brother sent me an email asking me to work on some giant spreadsheet for him. which is fine, except everytime he uses my name in an email, he spells it wrong! i have been working her going on 6 years! and he still can't spell my name right...
i am feeling a bit sarcastic today, so i responded to him asking who this person was?! he doesn't like being corrected so i am sure this will really piss him off! oh well, the way he treats people he really does deserve it!
