i arrived at work today, grabbed a couple of plates of food that needed to be taken out, walked out onto the deck and.....
...........there they were. my two ex-managers - the evil balding european guy with the brain capacity of a seven year old and the metrosexual arrogant narcissist. yes. after a year of avoiding my ex-resturant and all those associated with it, they just happen to come in for a drink at my new place of employment.
it gets worse. mr bald and the narcissist were sitting there drinking with my current boss and my gay manager (apparently a drinking buddy of the narcissist). mr bald kept telling the other wait staff to send me over to say hello. i told then that i would rather impale myself on something sharp.
its not so much that im worried that they said awful things about me to my current boss although that is definatly a concern, it is more that they will come back just to piss me off and be assholes. i know it seems like im being a little dramatic but there is a reason that i left this job - they like to torment people. its a really fun game particularly after a couple of drinks. just having them there really threw me.
i think its sort of like seeing an ex-boyfriend. aside from those cases in hollywood where all couples manage to stay "good friends,", most people break up because someone is a jackass or someone cheated or lied. you don't want to see this person again at all. if you do it is probably just because you want to cause them severe bodily harm - the ever popular tossing of the glass of wine, thowing a plate at their head or coining their BMW all being marvelous ideas. unfortunatly the fact that two of these are illegal and one wastes a perfectly good glass of wine means that it is just in your best interests not to see this person.
this is how i feel about mr bald and the narcassist.....they cause intense bloodlust.
im praying to god they don't come back. unfortunatly i don't have a brillant understanding with the man upstairs so im not sure how much good that will do. maybe if i cross my fingers as well?
[btw - the place that i am working at the moment is an very upmarket resturant in central auckland. i have only been there 2 weeks now but at working full time as im on holiday. its seems to be going ok - pretty stressful, run off my feet - but im enjoying it. im quite glad to have gotten this job because they offer a lot of hours and because if i get sick of my cafe job i can just leave and not have to worry about finding somewhere new.]
discobod
good bosses would see you in new job and come upto you and ask how things are going.
bad asshole bosses sit on their fat behinds and try to 'summon' you in the most embarassing way they can.
just hope your new boss was not 'influenced' by anything they said to him.
even if they did stir things up its in the past - their loss not yours.
hope you have a great new year.....bet it nice and warm there - it was minus 4 here last night in london.
