You think you know a guy...

I know I shouldn't talk too much about work on here, but I just have to right now. Remember how my old boss just up and resigned at the end of January? Well, as the owner and I are cleaning up the mess he left, we have found out why he left in such a hurry. I don't want to list details, but the situation is very disappointing to say the least. Neither of us thought that he had the audacity to do what he has done. As we uncover things, however, it has all begun to make sense. All the little clues left over the years. I am hurt, insulted and appalled. The owner is all those things times 100. I can't believe he would do this to her.

Now, before I sound like a total brown nosing kiss ass, I will admit that I have thought and said some nasty things about the owner. I have admittedly been jealous of her riches and have recently told her so. But overall, I have always had a huge amount of respect for her in that she has accomplished so much in her life. She EARNED all that she has by herself! How many wealthy people can honestly say that?

So we are handling this the best that we can. Things are coming together. The owner has made me feel like I have been a great asset to this company, something that my old boss never did. Sure, he'd compliment the way I'd improved so much since I'd screwed up during my first year, but he never asked for help, never told me what was going on, never really COMMUNICATED with me. I've come to find that I really don't know what he thought of me. Oh well. Who cares now. I know what I think of him after all this...

Oh yea, one more thing. My biggest clue about his character? The one that made me think, "Hmmmm, there's something about this guy..." He doesn't like animals. Every time I'd bring up my birds or cat or whatever, he'd make a disgusted face. Sure, he had pets for his kids, but he didn't seem to respect them. The way he'd talk about animals I could tell, he had no respect for them.

Okay, that is all. I must order lunch now.
