Stay. Make lots of money. Put up planned parenthood posters, fly the pride flag on your desktop, and put a 100 w bulb in your new lamp and aim it a bit to her area, so you "don't trip while crossing the floor", of course.
Eat foods that makes you fart loudly. Eat reheated fish at your desk for lunch. Take off your hot sneakers and put on sandals to air out your ' foot condition'.
Trim or file your nails at your desk. Make weird nose clearing sounds a lot.
Pull her competed to do list out of recycling and stick it back on her desk. (DH did this, the target used 50 post its a day to track to dos...)
Acknowledge that she is not a nice person, to yourself, but that you are strong enough to give some back.
HR won't fire you in two months for such subtle things. It could even be fun.
Yes, this may only stay a fantasy, but it could get you through I'd you visualize enough.
This put a smile on my face. I did request a light that could point with a very bright bulb for me to accommodate her preference for a dark office. And this morning I was thinking of just aiming it just a little further than needed to the left. Also, switching out all her full gel bottles for empty ones. Taking the linen out, and not replacing the liner. Hiding the liners. And leaving her room half stocked. Telling people over the phone that I'm her and approving things.... That last one might be too far not to get caught, though.
I reached out to my father as a bouncing board this morning, we're on friendly footing but hardly adoring daughter/father doting, so I figured his advice would also strike the right balance. It led me to the following thoughts.
I want to be in a better place financially so I can make life decisions based on wants instead of needs. I slashed my bills in half, kept roommates I couldn't stand, pushed husband to study hard and take actuary exams. I'm trying to destroy all my dribble money habits/addictions. Paid off all CC debt, paid off a school loan, pushed myself out of the comfort zone and hopped on the high paid travel job wagon even though it pulled me away from loved ones. It's been a lot of change in the last 14 months. I
want results already.
Quitting a job I don't like would make me feel like I had the results and it's something I could do
right now. Go me, right? Except it'd sort of be like cutting off my foot to lose weight.
Anyway, I want to thank people for all the constructive criticism. Till next time.
