2. I read a bunch of those this morning
and was more impressed by the bad writing than most of the stories. Hopefully there will be some more readable stories posted soon.

3. Excellent, but you should excerpt a couple examples.
If you did, I would recommend this one.

A little effort for a worthy post, please!

5. What a lot of whiners. I had the worst boss but not in America, in the World.
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 09:48 PM by gbrooks
Boss was a 4'11" tall man with an extremely explosive
temper. He was gay which wouldn't be an issue normally
but he had a crush on me and was severely closeted.

His denial regarding his sexual identity and his diminutive
stature made him crazy and paranoid. He would explode into screaming
fits at the slightest provocation. He was also and extreme
misogynist and racist to boot. He regularly called the secretary
a bitch and even insulted my bank manager on the phone over a
check she refused to clear on his behalf. His remark to her included
a vile reference to the size of her vaginal opening.

After a year of being subjected to be his screaming fits and being
nipped at by his Rototiller, (which had the run of the place), I started
looking elsewhere. He suspected I was ready to jump ship so he hired
a private detective to follow me. He called the police to come to the
office to protect him from a possible assault by me while he fired
me in the presence of the Police.

He then hired me back immediately when I threatened to sue him for
harassment. I then took several days ]off and went on anti-depressants
to cope with the situation. While away from work sick he fired me again.
This time I decided not to go back.

OK beat that story. I dare ya.
