basically she drinks any liquid in the bathroom. ew.
i reached the pinnacle of winter frustration today and just about threw an avocado at someone at work. that someone being the ex-cokehead alcoholic aries ego produce dude whose job i now have (thus giving him an enormous chip on this shoulder that causes great strife in the workplace- he doesn't want the job but hates it that i have it now). today he got mad at me because i fixed the sign that he put up incorrectly. i mean really. it was going to fall, and it's not my damn fault that you go to N.A. and don't want to be the the asst. manager anymore, so stop giving me shit and saying cockhead shit like 'whatever, you're the boss.' damn right i'm the boss and i'll kick your grumpy ass right out of this department if you keep doing a half-assed job! today we had what i'll call an 'encounter'- cause usually i ignore his bitchiness, but today gave him a bit of the shley. his response? not a word to me for the next two hours of work, throwing stuff around, hiding things i need at the bottom of shelves so i have to move hundreds of pounds of shit to get to them, then leaving two hours early without saying goodbye or finishing his work. so i have to do more work all because i told him the celery shouldn't be on the floor. why do i have to work with fucking fifth-graders disguised as grown men? and who in the dept. can't read???? someone keeps putting conventional lemons with the organic lemons, even though it seems quite clear to me that there is a DIFFERENCE EXPRESSED ON EVERY SINGLE LEMON IN THE FORM OF A STICKER!!! read the sticker people. it tells you whether it's conventional or organic. meanwhile, it's cold outside and the snow from december 21 is still on the ground in the form of thick black ice. so the shley is annoyed.
oh, but tomorrow it will be in the 40's and mr. grumparific won't be at work and i will feel happy and free once again.
marley is going to fall in the toilet.

Start documenting the asshat's behavior. I know it's a PITA, but if you don't have something in writing, it will be that much harder to send him packing. You should also try to empithize (sp?), seeing the situation from his point of view. Sit him down, outline what behaviors are substandard, and map out a course of action for him to improve, incuding a time-line.
At least that is what the smiley happy people in HR expect us to do at the plant from the rarified air in the front office.
Or you could reject the touchy-feely management style and hit him in the head with the avacado. Your call.
indeed, as an asst. manager i should approach the situation with tact and maturity. but all the upper-up people don't seem to care enough about his asshatness to do anything about it, so it's to me to deal with him and the man doesn't do well with tact. he found it threatening that i fixed his sign, for cryin' out loud. an avocado in the head might be the thing he needs.
I'm so pleased that asshat has made it into the parlance of our times.
sp? oh well.
Left work early? That's documentable. Put the bitch on probation. Show him who's boss.

Talked back to supervisor...that's a
