Many good words said already that I can only back up - she probably does feel threatened cos you are good at your job, and cos you are popular. You are such a fab person on here, your posts are either hilarious, or packed with good info and stuff. I really wish you were coming up here - I'd love to meet you.

AND the chappies in NZ who gave Mr Pollster a job have found a us a house to live in when we get there and are paying the rent for three weeks - fully furnished etc etc and only 500 yards from the beach and 10 minutes from town.
AND I have just realised I am on my last week of writing corporate bollocks for corporate wankers
AND the dog's paw is beginning to heal
AND Mr Pollster went down the shops for some bread and came back with a bottle of voddy!
Pollster's positivity levels are rising by the second! Bring it on!!

The new light fitting in my kitchen has blown two bulbs already today and - oops there goes another one
The dog has pulled three of the stitches holding her paw together out and it is now bleeding profusely
A very nice wooden blind I bought at great expense today for the front door, which took me about an hour to fit as it was an absolute bugger but looked very nice once up has had to come down again due to the narrowness of the hallway and the wideness of the wijets at the top that make it goes up and down.
I now have a whocking great hole in my hall wall which will need filling and repainting - and guess what - I threw my half carton of ployfilla out as we weren't taking with us so now I have to buy a new one. And I will have to go and buy a tester size of the paint we used as the 1/4 of a can I had left went to the council tip this morning.
Another blind I bought today will not fit the window it was destined for because it has a massive great winding thing on the side of it that is not included in the width measurement on the box
And I can't have a drink because a)I am riding tonight and me pissed on top of a ton of excitable horse is not a good idea and b) more to the point, there is no coke in the house to mix with voddy
And the bank is refusing to repay an overdraft fee that they shouldn't have charged in the first place ( because I wasn't overdrawn).
But hey - I am not to be beaten - come on world - do your worst!!

Do you know why she does this?..i think i do ..
You scare her. You are better than her at your job, you are happier than her in your private life. This is very scarey for someone who is very insecure.
The positive thing to think about, is if you can scare your boss that much, you are one red hot chick!! .... f*** her!!! ...you will be long gone while she is still taking out her insecurities on another poor soul.

Bundy, they are all quite right:, your boss sounds deeply insecure, personally jealous, & in need of a a good dose of HRT or something. Just tee hee over the fact that, while you are whooping it up in Nundle NSW, serving all those yummy soups to even yummier hunky Aussie men
, your ex boss will be fuming in Cambridge traffic lines, trying to buy decent shoes in the inadequate John Lewis, braving the Lion Yard car park (30 quid for a day's parking - YIKES) & breathing in all those lovely E Anglian agricultural chemicals....Startin' to feel sorry for her yet, gal?
Anya.
PS: really annoying that the new, much bigger & better John Lewis will be 'after our time...'

I was just looking through this thread and was appalled at what you are putting up with bundy. I know you will be leaving soon but I was wondering why you hadn't used Employment Legislation to seek damages from your employer? Quote (from a Human Resources book near to hand!):
"One current major concern that employers and employees have is how stress is affecting the workplace. The number of workers claiming damages from their employer for having too much stress placed upon them, resulting in health problems, is increasing, and so is the amount being paid out to individual workers".
If you have evidence from work colleagues to back you up there is no reason to put up with the bullying tactics of a boss. I say this as a general comment more than anything - you just don't put up with it, there are laws in place. Even the threat of recourse to the law can work wonders.
As the others said it won't matter when you are in Nundle but you shouldn't have had to put up with it for these years. The solution is not the 'all-purpose palliative' or a skinfull for the lady but to look after your own rights.
