October 6th, 2006good day to stay in bed
I had a crazy dream last night that my sister got remarried to her ex-husband. It was in a small castle-type place, and there were only a few rows of people, but it was lovely and they were both really happy. I woke up excited to blog about how happy I was he was “back in the family.” Seconds later, I sighed and realized my brain was on crack.
I should’ve stayed in bed today, because sad happy dreams are better than sad, depressing days.
The job I took uses a system that employs the Porkchop… and his ex-wife. The real fun is that she is the contact for the company, and not him. She knows we are together—that wasn’t a fun day either—so he and her talked and the three of us decided that he’d transfer an account to her and take my account. No muss, no fuss, all handled via IM this morning… or so we thought.
My new boss called their boss to see if it would be a problem having her on their account since they were hiring me, who is dating her ex. Porkchop’s boss, who hadn’t known we were together, brought it up with his ex, who said she knew and that it wasn’t a big deal—but we are all now uncomfortable with the entire damn situation.
Why in the hell would my new boss bring this up? Are they so worried that there will be issues? Don’t they think I’d be smart enough to not take the goddamn job if I thought it would be an issue? Why the HELL would they call his boss? How is our personal relationship an issue at all?
The three of us handled it just fine, and I guess I’m more ripshit because I feel like they circumvented me in this situation and steamrolled the Chop and his ex by bringing it up with their boss. (Who can be a real asshole just in general.) Bear in mind, this was a company I interviewed with and the Chop wanted to hire. So now the concern is that his boss will be all, “Oh, so that’s why you wanted to hire her.”
Apparently his boss then said it wouldn’t be a problem with her and I working together because they are divorced and so blah, blah, blah.
Do you see how they fucking created a problem that we had already dealt with? Now their boss won’t allow the transfer and I get to work with his ex-wife.
I’m really looking forward to this new job now.
Tell them you no longer want it, keep looking for other jobs. Besides it appears that your new boss has already shown what type of person he is and the fact the he would ever in a million years think his actions were appropriate makes you wonder what working for him will bring into your life! I know without a doubt that i would not have anything to do with that fucked up situation but you are nicer than me and i am a stone cold bitch. 🙂 Which brings me to my next comment: what drug did you take before you went to bed last night?! Nice dream tard! I am still sitting in bed for the day with a cup of coffee, some bacon and am watching The Lake House. Call me when you have a sec, love you!!
