Things you want to say (but shouldn't) outloud at work

This is not only a Things You Couldn't Wait To Post On GC Because It Will Be Super Appreciated story, and it's not just a Bad Boss story, but it's a This Person Is So Heinous They Don't Deserve To Breathe Air story.

One of my fellow supervisors (there are 3 of us but one was far out of town for the week) had a death in their family. She called in upset, and I called our boss who had the day off to see if she could come in and pick up her shift (this is a retail establishment, so you can't just call off, someone has to cover for you). She told me she couldn't leave her house, and the woman who had the DIF would have to come in (or else I would have to work a double shift and another shift this morning, pretty much 24 hours straight of work). What, you ask, was so all-important that the boss had to stay home and basically force someone to come into work who should have been at home with her family?

SHE HAD PEOPLE AT HER HOUSE HELPING HER SEW COSPLAY COSTUMES.

I swear I am not making this up.

You owe me a new Diet Coke, please. That's just all I can say, other than Wow!

How did miss this?

I must say, I've been doing Renaissance stuff for awhile now, and there is some crossover between genres, but I still really don't "get" cosplay. I just don't.

Actually (don't kill me Jess) I think it is somehow Renaissance related, but she was going on about how her hubby is an officer and has to have an impressive costume and she can't sew. I don't care if you have Barack F'ing Obama in your house, you don't do that to another human.

LOL. There's a reason why people who are not actually rich or very good seamstresses chose to stay away from noble characters...their garb is a pain in the ass. And what's even lamer is that Pennsylvania RenFest season doesn't even start until Fall. Unless she's doing Spoutwood Faerie Fest, which wouldn't make sense either. What a sad excuse for a person. But, there are those in every crowd.

Gee, thanks.

Would have been nice if you had done it before you didn't have a choice.

Still want to leave.

You give me numerous awards, but won't employ me full time.

I can't wait until I can tell you to kiss my ass.
