I | "I Hate My Boss"

"I hate my boss" - Grace 'Racey' Andrews

GRACE

One hour and 47 minutes.

It had been one hour and 47 minutes and he hadn't had the balls to show his face. After berating me in the employee kitchen for ten minutes straight about 'gossiping idly' when I was being paid to work, I at least thought he would give me some actual work to do.

I hate my boss. I swear to God, I hate him. He's the most unreasonable, bipolar, Type A, piece of--

The ping alerting me of a new chat message distracted me from wallowing in self-pity and anger. I smirked a little opening the message from my partner-in-crime, Angela.

@ABraithwaite: Hey work wife!
@ABraithwaite: You still in the doghouse with the big guy? 😘

@GAndrews: Wifey ❤
@GAndrews: I don't even know. I haven't seen him since he assassinated my character in front of you and Greg.
@GAndrews: I've been sitting in my office twiddling my thumbs for almost two hours. I think I'm getting sacked 😫

@ABraithwaite: You goof, you're not getting sacked!
@ABraithwaite: He was peeved in the kitchen, he's not gonna come to your office. He probably wants you to go to his office...and grovel.

@GAndrews: Nope.

@ABraithwaite: ???

@GAndrews: I went to his office straight after to apologise and see what he wanted me for.
@GAndrews: His door AND blinds were closed. God only knows why, he never closes either normally.
@GAndrews: So I knocked on his door and waited. Then I knocked again.
@GAndrews: I knew he was in there. I saw him walk in a few minutes before.
@GAndrews: He didn't answer so I called out asking if he was okay and opened the door.
@GAndrews: God forbid he had a heart attack at his desk and died or something. He'd probably live just long enough to tell the police it was all my fault and punish me from beyond the grave.
@GAndrews: Anyway, I had barely cracked his door open a couple inches before he screamed at me to get out.

@ABraithwaite: What? No way?! That's not like him at all.

@GAndrews: Ang, he literally SCREAMED at me "GO AWAY!!!".
@GAndrews: If I hadn't been so damn shocked I would've told him to screw himself and then quit but I was stunned into silence and...y'know...I got hella bills to pay 😭😭😭

@ABraithwaite: Don't take it to heart, Racey. He's probably just got some crazy deadline or had a bad meeting. You know he didn't mean what he said.

@GAndrews: Didn't he?
@GAndrews: I don't know. He's changed so much since I started working for him.
@GAndrews: He's a completely different person to me as his PA then he was when I was temping.
@GAndrews: Or maybe I was never around him enough to see it.
@GAndrews: I don't know. I just feel sometimes like I'm the problem.
@GAndrews: I still can't believe the nerve of him. He basically called me a lazy slut!!! 😠😡

@ABraithwaite: Racey! He said no such thing! You KNOW if he'd said that he would have caught 👏🏽 these 👏🏽 hands 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@GAndrews: LOL my SHEro. Still...he might as well have said that for how crappy I feel right about now.
@GAndrews: I just wanna go home and curl up under my duvet in the foetal position...until it's payday.

@ABraithwaite: Okay, that's enough!
@ABraithwaite: Bin your sandwich. I'm taking you out for lunch!

Lunch. Hmm. I looked towards my office door and tilted my head just enough to see my boss's door. Still shut...
