Well to give you something interesting to read about, I will let you in on my new job. I am the office manager for a spinal decompression clinic. The doctor, "Dr.", is a real gem. Most days start with a really nice pep talk where he asks us for our positive energy and concludes with him telling us that we can either go to the top with him, or we'll be fired! This is just a sample of his wonderful attitude!
Now this story may sound like fiction, but believe me it's as real as it gets! I was in the room with him, a coworker and a patient and his wife for a report of findings. In this appointment he discusses with the patient his diagnosis as well as the length and cost of the treatment. This particular patient (who happened to be a one armed man) did not like the price and told the doctor that it was a rip off and that he was like a used car salesman. The Dr. got irate! Both "mature" men started yelling at each other, with the patient making threats and the Dr. telling the patient "you deserve your pain!" As they continued to fight, the patient asked the Dr. if he wanted to take this outside and pushed him (remember he only had one arm!). So I got to call the police and write up mine and the doctors statements!
It doesn't end there! The following day the patients wife called the office and said that she needed to pick up their x-ray and MRI. I told her that there was no way that he would allow them to come into the office, but perhaps I could meet her in the parking lot. I then had the pleasure of calling the Dr. on his cell phone (he was at lunch) and told him they were coming to pick up their things. He yelled at me on the phone and then hung up on me! Then when he got back to the office and proceeded to rip my butt off, telling me I had no right to say they could pick up their stuff. I told him he had no right to keep it!
He later could down, but he still likes to make comments about how he could have kicked his ass! Blah blah blah! He thinks he is so cool because he can come up with a bunch of one arm derogatory comments.
So it is fun working with the other girls because we all make fun of him behind his back! He likes to think that he is into "The Secret" and all of this positive energy stuff, yet he is the most negative person I have ever met! And by the way.....you're fired!

This is killing me! This guy is a piece of work to say the least... you will always have some good office gossip to BS about and have a laugh over.
WOW! I dont think I could handle that.
You have never had the real pleasure of working in 'the office'. These can be the most entertaining jobs on earth! Lol... why did you push her? And I do love the goat... damn it that thing is cute.
Is there anyway you can sneak a camera or voice recorder into the "pep talk" so we can all start our day off with some positive energy?
We will need at least one new story a week. I think Nate's idea is fabulous. A recording would be a lot of fun. Must be careful to keep this site on the down low.
I think he should get together with Dr. Steven. They have a lot in common, they are both assholes!
Well I will have to find some way to let you all in on the wonderful pep talks that I get each day! I will be working on that secret recording! Jen did bring up a good point that I should not use his name because if he ever found it, which he probably would, he would sue me for slander. So from now on I will be referring to him as Mikey, as I feel this would piss him off the most!
I too was worried about changing the names to protect the innocent (you), and am happy to see you have already edited. Good plan to use new code names!
