Self-Employed, and my boss is an evil @*^&@

I knew this was going to happen. I haven’t been working for two full days people, and already I am THIS CLOSE to quitting!

My boss? She is an evil @*^&@.

Demanding, exacting, nagging…it just never ends.

Try to sit down for a minute to do something not-working like, she immediately she’s all up in my face. “You should be emailing Contact Person.” “You need to download the quarterly tax forms.” “You need to triple check that the lady at the city wasn’t wrong about the permit non-requirements.” “Did you add that section to the manuscript yet, the one we were thinking about yesterday?”

ARGH.

It never stops with this evil @*^&@.

It. Never. Stops.

She never sleeps! Never! She’s always nagging-nagging-nagging!

Two o’clock this morning, she starts poking me in the self-confidence and hissing at me.

Did you do this? Yes. What about that. Yes. How about whatnot? Look, whatnot won’t be due until the end of freakin’ September, it can wait!

“Oh, this is your attitude?” she says. Her close-set, pig-like eyes narrow and her mouth closes up like she just sucked in a gin-soaked pickled onion. “So you think that you’ll just have all the time in the world come September? You won’t be busy with other things, like, I don’t know, MAKING MONEY?!”

THEN she starts with the rattling-off of the client list.

We’ve already got a signed contract with Company #1, and THAT project with Company #2 is ‘under consideration’ which as we both know means that it is on hold only until the next budget release at the end of June, and so-and-so from this bank expressed “great interest” and of course Madame X from Agency Y is thrilled that we’re back on the scene and is already sending Possibles our way AND in case you’d forgotten you have a manuscript due soon…AND YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SIT HERE IN THESE QUIET MOMENTS BEFORE THE WIND HITS THE SAILS AND IT WILL ALL JUST BE HUNKY-DORY COME SEPTEMBER?!?!

Honestly. Like I won’t be able to find half an hour to fill out a two page form between now and the end of September.

I hate her. She is an evil, evil @*^&@, and I hate her so much.

It would serve her right if I quit. Right here, right now. Just quit. Said TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT, and walked right off to a new career of doing nothing but sulking, the end.

{Long. Suffering. Sigh.} {With eye rolling. And sulky mouth pout. And crossed arms. Also, I am slouching like a teenager. Nyah!}

Now. If you’ll excuse me, I need to fill out a stupid two page form about myself for an entity who already said it doesn’t need it until the end of freakin’ September at the earliest.

…evil @*^&@...
