My boss is unreasonable in a lot of ways. She is a very stressy, shouty person and a complete control freak -think telling me to make a phone call for her and then shouting in the background while i am making said phone call. If things aren't right she can go on and on and on about.
Luckily I'm used to her and don't make many mistakes so we rub along together ok.
I'm on my holidays now. Two weeks off. A week at home, and then a week away. On Monday I get a text from her, "can you call me at work i need to ask you something" I was out with friends and didn't want to be stressed so I didn't call. I text her back that night saying "sorry, i was out, hope you got it sorted." She texts back "Can you ring me tomorrow?" making me anxious for the rest of evening. Tuesday i called into the office taking my youngest one with me as a human shield. She was out. Another flurry of texting followed and another evening of stressing.
Wednesday she finally phoned me. It turned out that all it was, was that she had lost something that we use all the time that is kept in my top drawer. She claimed not to be able to find it. I was baffled and said it's in my top drawer at the front. She opened the drawer and found it exactly where i said it was. She then had a go at me about the state of my drawers and said it would have to be sorted out when i get back!! Honestly it's just stationery in my drawers, not that much of a mess.
The AIBU is that she finished the call by saying she had a birthday card for me in the office and i'd have to go in and get it. My birthday is tomorrow. I'm annoyed with her and think stuff your bloody card you mentalist. AIBU not to go? I know if I don't go in she will be annoyed. It may also contain money. But really I do not want to go in on my day off and I don't care if it does contain money. But I know she'll go on when I get back if I don't go. Ugh, I've got to havem't I?
