Our new head boss man starts today - as in the head of the entire institute, so I'll have to look like a model employee today. I'm even wearing smart(ish) clothes!

Is this to replace the Anne Widdecombe nightmare boss?
Smart clothes :scared: It must be serious....

Sadly not. It's her boss, in fact. The head honcho. Director of the whole institute as opposed to just this department......
He's broken with tradition and instead of taking the Director's office over in the old hall (oak panelled, huge room, plush carpets etc) he's chosen to come and work in our building (dodgy plaster, tiny room, harsh carpet tiles etc). Good on him, I say. My boss isn't too happy though - he'll be opposite her and he might see just how bad she really is!

....we're all sitting her with everything crossed, I can tell you. And my boss always makes a terrible first impression, so there's definitely hope.

Next time Simone, next time......
My boss looks like she's been crying. What's going on?! Has there been a malicious strike already? We live in hope.
