That's right.

Get this: I worked from home this morning to try and get that bid done and I called my boss for help, and he said that we needed to go over everything in the office, so I drove into the office, and when I went to him for help, he put me off until 3:00 PM and I had to stay late to get the bid out. He's such a passive-aggressive control freak. He made me come into the office when he could have just told me what I needed to do over the phone, and then he waited until the last minute to give me the information that I needed to finish my bid. I worked on the bid last night and I got up at 6:00 AM and I started working on it at home, and now I'll have to work on that other bid this weekend. I got so stressed out that I almost fainted at work. I'm so tired of his s--t.

:hug: I am so sorry about this, Jerry. I kept seeing passive aggressive with him. This guy is worse than a jerk. He's despicable. He was pissed you were working from home so had you come in... he put off helping you because he knew he could have solved the issue on the phone but wanted to make it seem like you needed to come in and he was so busy things had to get delayed. :irked: He is a pile of trash. You do not deserve such horrible treatment. I am so sorry you almost fainted. He is loathsome. Is there anyone above him you could talk to about what he does to you and others? I am so sorry. :hug:

Thanks Michelle. :hug: There's really no one above him I can talk to about what he does because if they said anything to him he would know it came from me, and he can be vindictive, so I'm pretty much stuck.

He was not thinking? Or he was thinking with his other head. I have no idea either.

Architect had a chance to go over to your team. He stayed out of loyalty? Oh well, he chose his own path. Sucks for your team that he’s not going to be around. Will you be able to eventually replace him?
It will be difficult to replace him as he was the one that had the most experience and was valuable the most. We will need few people to cover his job and basically replace him.

I was exaggerating, lol. I know and understand the French accent speaking English since I was friends with the Paris native for 10 years. Eventually she polished it and sounded closer to American over the thick French accent. But I heard it for a decade and could imitate it pretty perfectly. I would go there in front of her and she’d crack up and say I had it down. She was embarrassed, she hated how the French spoke English. Also, Rowling used it with Fleur (French character) in the Harry Potter series... Harry is Arry since they don’t pronounce the H, lol.
For Bulgarians that have not heard French speaking English before would be really difficult to comprehend anything at all. Germans also have issues. We are just used a bit because we have heard them before. Otherwise it is indeed difficult.

I’m still not understanding how I never went to sleep, lol. Been up since 2 AM Thursday morning and I'm thinking I won't finally get some sleep until Saturday around that time too to make it a full 48 hours.
Wow!!! Did you manage to sleep last night? I was so tired that I went to bed around 9 PM and slept till 11 AM.

Luckily I managed to do what I wanted today for the trip. The luggage is ready. I need to add only my PJ tomorrow morning. And the laptop in my backpack.

The other weird thing is before this I never would have depicted him as super sexual either. They waited until college to sleep together for the first time. He was more like Ephram in this way. So that's the other shocking aspect to it. That is why there's speculation maybe his mental health is off... my friend mentioned about a year ago that he had highs and lows. I joked maybe he was bipolar. She joked back if he keeps it up, she will consider it. It was all joking (not making fun of bipolar of course) because he had never shown signs of anything like this before and we didn't consider the possibility. I wonder if my "joke" was actually picking up on it.

Have you for sure lost him?

Makes sense. I remember first hearing French, French and I couldn't believe how different it sounded. But I would play around and repeat everything she said. She couldn't believe how I could copy the precise accent seeing as I had no idea what she was saying but somehow I went there. I could nail the exact French accent apparently. She said if I learned French no one would have been able to tell I was American when speaking French. I don't know if she was being nice but she insisted it was true. I don't know why but I'm pretty good at picking up on languages, even difficult ones that I've never heard before. When my Grandparents, both sets, were speaking Polish and Slovak, as a very young child (4-5 years old) apparently I was repeating what they were saying in the proper accent too. My family were blown away so this is obviously just something like sports for me. Easy for some weird reason.

You got a great night's sleep! You needed it. I finally went to sleep around 2 AM this morning... up at 6 AM so very much lacking sleep still.

Great that you're all set! When do you leave for the airport?

I know that there are people who could get really promiscuous when being stressed or in other ways in a not healthy state. It is possible that he had something going on, but still he did not do it just once. It had been going for 5 years.

Quote:

Still unsure. For now we are preparing to work without him. I hope that he decides to stay but apparently they can't get rid of the jerk without him going away too. We will wait and see how it goes.

So cool that you pick up easily accents and pronunciation. I suck at this. I can pick up grammar rules and remember words and all that, but my pronunciation would always suck.

Good that you managed to sleep a bit, but I think that you need more. I hope that you get to sleep this night more.

Quote:

Around 5 AM we will leave for the airport. Our flight is 7:30 AM. I don't think that I will go bed this night at all. It's already 1 AM. We will see.

Btw a reminder that I would not have access to the board during the day while I am in France as they have restricted this at their office.

It’s a total mystery. I guess figuring out a reason is immaterial because she’s never taking him back regardless. She’s moved out already. She’s living with her parents. She spent 36 hours straight packing everything with the help of one sibling, a cousin and two other friends. Her brother owns a truck company so she packed everything in boxes, loaded the truck and she was off. The other good news is they were purchasing a house this summer and she had time to get out of that as well before it got messy. She’ll live with her parents until she figures out her next move which is most likely buying something on her own.

That sucks. They shouldn’t be considered a unit.

Not sure why this is. I’ve read that sometimes psychics can go there because Spiritually there’s one Universal language. Thus, with this concept all languages are the same if that makes sense. So it’s Spiritually motivated subconsciously. It would explain why I could do this at age 4.

Wow, why can’t you sleep? Will you have time to rest before getting started Monday or are you busy Sunday when you get in too?

Too bad about the restriction. Nevertheless, don’t worry about the board!

secretk 03-24-2018 08:49 PM

Well I am just at home. There was an issue with our tickers so we could not fly. Ask me how pissed I am. I have slept just 10 minutes for this stupid flight. They had to do only one thing - book flight and hotel. Apparently they did nothing. Now I can't even fall asleep. The day is completely ruined basically and on top of it I will be super tired tomorrow at work.

This is great she was able to move out fast and then she got out of this house situation!

They consider themselves unit. This is the problem with them. You can't have issues with just one of them. They always act like you have issues with all of them. Like you said - it's a cult and you know how you deal with cults. You break them apart.

Interesting concept!

Because I hate travelling. I can't sleep before travelling. I hate all the hassle, the crowds, the checks, everything.

What?!?!?! Are you kidding? Oh my God, this sucks! I am so sorry. :hug: So the trip is entirely cancelled or what is going to happen?

:nod: Definitely. She's still hurting on the inside but she'll work it out as times goes by. She's got all the bad stuff out of the way though such as moving out, cancelling house, marriage, etc.

Not sure. I guess it will be decided tomorrow. We could not do anything so we just left the airport and came home.

How old is she? It sucks so much for her because he basically wasted her time you know. It's normal for her to need some time to really heal.

A guy from Frankfurt booked the flights most probably using the reservation system developed by the other team. I already sent an email to the French guys including the Bulgarian CTO. Within 10 minutes he called me back and asked me to send an email to the guy that booked the flight including him and the German CTO so that they could check what happened. He apologized and told me to relax today as much as possible and we will check how this could have happened tomorrow.

So he wasted almost 15 years of her life I assume. Unbelievable!

On top of that the power went down in my apartment so I am now in the mall and then I will meet my best friend. I am waiting for him to call me and then I will take the subway. Good thing that my new purse/backpack is big enough to fit in my small laptop so that I could check from time to time my emails and see if there is any progress.
