Hey steph, don't feel too bad about your boss, most guys are like that *runes away from the male bashing*
as for worst thing i've been called...heh, i'm gonna have to say "nice guy" cause its just haunted me for so long...was that guy that all the girls go to when they were having problems with thier BF or SO...didn't attract people that wanted me for my body, just my shoulder and ears...

Speaking of bosses.........I had the worst day with my boss yesterday. I'm a telemarketer and we were getting a new computer program and new dialers and they flew a guy down from Baltimore yesterday. Now, normally, my boss is really nice, but yesterday he kept calling us useless in front of the guy from Baltimore. It's pretty sad when you have to highten yourself by calling names just make it clear that you are the boss.

The worst thing I've ever been called, well really never told to my face, but everybody in school (Many many years ago) just knew I was a "nobody". Never picked for the games, never invited to the parties. The class "looser". I never got into the "clique" thing, so I was excluded from every clique. Now I got more friends here at Pixies than I ever dreamed of back then.

I have to stick up for some bosses here!Years ago;I was the Head
Mechanic for a Boat manufacturer.They fired the Foreman;on my;
boat size assembly line.They made me Head Mechanic and Foreman;over 13 people.It was a fairly responsible position;as the boats cost over $200,000 apiece;before optional equipment!
I quickly discovered;that you can't please the workers and management;at the same time!The first thing that I did;was to put;everyone in for a raise.I was called to the office and told to
only;give a raise;to the people;that deserved it.I told them;that
I was a working foreman and as a mechanic;had worked with all
of them and as far as I was concerned;they all deserved a raise!
To make a long story short;they all got their raise!Management;
wasn't happy;but had to put up with my shit;because I made them alot of money.They even started using me as a consultant;
with the owners. Irish

axe - out there at the clubs and where i've been growing up, lots of guys just aren't that nice...here at pixies almost everyone is great! (and i was just joking about the bosses) also, working for the gov't, i run into a lot of bad bosses...gee, go figure.
irish - i definitly understand that there are a lot of good bosses out there but i just don't have the luck of working for them...seems like most of the money is with the people that have been around forever that don't want to learn anything new...

Mytaru---Bosses;that care about the workers;are few and far between.It's like I always said about drinking(I'm a recovering alcoholic);when you can see things from;both;sides;you are more understanding;because you know the problems of both.What most bosses don't realise;is that their image depends on their workers;doing a good job.Most companies don't realise this;that's
why they don't want fraternizing;among bosses and workers.I found that if you treat your workers;the same;as you would want them to treat you;NO PROBLEM! Irish

thats how it used to be at my office, the bosses stuck to themself...it seems to have gotten better over the last few years as they have differant bosses for everything and most of them work directly with people...so its not quite the same here as it is for you...i guess that every job is differant...
i'm just lucky where I am i suppose.

Murphy Dear,
I understand completely how you must have felt back then, and your feelings for Pixie's today.
You aren't alone in having bee excluded from everthing at school, and left out of the cliques. Not only was that the situation for me, but I was also called all sorts of names mostly by the boys. And those same boys all treated me and behaved as though I had "cooties". Oh yes, school was such a happy time in my life..................NOT!!!!!
I much prefer my internet friends, most especially my Pixie friends. Here we are accepted for WHO we are, no more no less..
What more can you ask for?
THANK GOD FOR PIXIES!! and for the very special friends I've made here!!!!

Well I've been called everything over the years but I guess if we're talking about things that actually have a strong emotional affect on me then I guess it has to be "you're such a nice guy"
It just seems to mean that most people want to use you cos they know you're just gonna do what ever you can for them.
to be honest anyone can call me anything they want to. I know I'm a good person and that's all that matters to me......if that's what it takes for someone to feel good about themself, to call someone else a name, then go for it in the end you're only hurting yourself.
I'm off to my dark and quiet corner ...........night all

My mum called me a lazy bitch yesterday because I hadnt done the washing up by the time she got in (she neglected to notice that I'd done all the families washing and tidied the house so that hurt a bit). I cant hold it against her though, theres a lot of redundancies (is that spelt right) at her work and she's not sure where she stands.
Apart from that I cant think of anything, I know people at school used to call me things but I learnt to block them out, all girls schools can be very bitchy and I was an easy target for a lot of people

The worse thing I have ever been called was a "liar" by my wife. She has a bad temper sometimes and misunderstood something I had said. She later apologized but, 1 year later, it still hurts me like hell to think about it.
