My Boss...
Was a woman of legend, we worked together in my nearest city, but I really daren't give you any more detail. She still "Works" there, as far as I'm aware. I actually put up with her for 6 months...

I like to drink water as I work and we were working in a late 1960;s building with no aircon. (She insisted that I kept my suit jacket on at ALL TIMES, hence I had a raging thirst) But only in girly size glasses, not pints because "You're customer facing!". My colleague was also customer facing, but she used to just wear a t shirt a skirt and bare (unshaven) legs, I had to be suited and stockinged all the time.

My boss stopped me from using the water cooler, because it was too expensive. I had to drink from the tap in the office, which was warm all the time, because it came from the holding tank in the roof, and was possibly very dangerous to drink from, if not illegal.

I could put up with that apart from having to scrape dried bogeys from the underside of desks in the offices, from being told third hand that I was expected to make all the boss' sales calls when she was on holiday. I could put up with having to cover for her during her extended "paperwork meeting thingy" with her favourite client that went on for hours and hours. (I didn't know paperwork made you sweaty and giggly!)

Her casual racism was just about bearable, I did shout her down a couple of times, but when she referred to the chairman/CEO of the company as "That Fucking Jew!" I realised I had to go...

Length? Oddly, none at all! she's now suffering from stress induced alopecia and is as bald as a pickled onion! get IN!!

Wait....
...there are just too many similarities here. Right down to the hair loss and the ridiculous control-freakiness.

Is she a short freckly Aussie bitch?

Not an Aussie..
Too much make-up to tell about the freckles..Apart from that, yes!

It's scary, there's a couple of posts on here the same as her, down to a T!

addendum...
Forgot to mention that she also chased my predecessor into the gynae ward at the hospital, to check on the poor girl's "women's troubles" which turned out to be a threatened miscarriage...
