Someone's bitch

Work today got intense very quickly. My boss emailed me on this particular item in our catalog and said, "XYZ picture is bad. Look on the internet and learn."

What?! LEARN?! What the hell?

Why did he start my day like this? The picture seemed fine to me. If he wanted it in certain way, why didn't he just tell me exactly how he would like it photographed? I was pissed. My manager didn't have a good solution. There was nothing like it on the internet either. Soon that item got put away with the catalog because my boss started to fire email after email my way. I was working on finishing the ad my manager wanted and at the same time, fending off demands from my boss.

He was definitely on to me this morning. I didn't reply to one of the emails he sent, so he emailed me again and asked me for an answer right then. What the F? My boss was acting like a kid. I felt my blood rushing fast and furious. I wrote him back and set him straight. I told him I had to prioritize and I was sorry that one of the requests he sent me was not on the top of my list, because I was focused on finishing up the ad my manager asked me to make. I would get to his thing as soon as I was done with the ad. Or did he want me to stop working on the ad? I would if he asked me to.

He wrote back quickly and told me to work on his stuff when I had the time. GOOD!

I was kept busy all day and I didn't even get a chance to send out any resumes or applications, ha! Sigh. I totally understand I'm someone's bitch. It's just that his attitude can be so brash and harsh.

Then tonight I had the pleasure to watch an episode of Hell's Kitchen. No, my boss is nowhere like Chef Ramsey. Thank goodness!

I did have this thought running in my head over and over, "I want a new job - NOW!"
