Tuesday 1 March 2011

I am so angry with my boss.

I finished the project for her more than four weeks ago and she is only looking at it now.

She asks me questions I have already answered.

She phones me all the time to ask about it and to talk about it.

She is driving me crazy!

I need the money from the project but I don’t need all the problems!

Aha, she’s also telling me every small error I have made.

I am human! I make errors! it’s normal!

It is so annoying, I want to scream.

Why am I surprised?

She is always like this.

I never have a nice boss, are there nice bosses in the world?

It is still baking hot, when will the hot weather end?

I am sick of being hot all the time.

And the sink is not working again.

Everything is wrong!

I feel so frustrated.

Maybe I’m just feeling sorry for myself.
