Unfortunately it was a part time job and when my ex lost his job (hence most of my child support) I had to move on.
My worst job EVER was for a man. Bejaysus he was awful, screaming and swearing from 8am to 5pm. I broke two molars from grinding my teeth. It was the only job in my life that I quit without another job to go to the next day. One day he came steaming back from a meeting I had set up and said the man he was supposed to meet was not there. Okay, so I phone to see what happened and am told the secretary had a miscarriage so several things in the office fell thru the cracks. While I was making appropriate sympathetic sounds preparatory to rescheduling the meeting, the *hole who was my boss yanked the phone from my hand so he could scream at the woman at the other end of the line.
The man before him would shtup anything in a skirt that didn't move out of his way. I worked for him for 4 years because by gods I needed that job, but I kept moving out of his way and in general behaved like I was immune to his manly charms. The woman hired after me caught a dose of the clap from him.
Anyway, after the screamer I lucked into the best boss of my life, bar none. He was such a good soul, a good ol' boy raised in a lumber camp where his parents were the cooks. I remember him with great fondness.
You never know.
