So, you want the scoop!

Thanks for the well wishes on my foot.  It's doing OK.  As I posted in What's New, it's more bothersome than painful.

The former boss called me here last week and reamed me out.  He needed the name of the lady who handles retirement over in HR.  Like I would know.  He's the one retiring.  First he screamed that it's too difficult to get ahold of me now 'cause he doesn't have my new phone #.  He had to call the old one which rings 3 times then transfers to this # (such an inconvenience).  He's been working in this bldg with these #s for 30 years, and doesn't know the # for the main office!  Gee!  I could feel my BP rising!  Well, when I told him I didn't know who she was, he yelled, "As always, you're no help to me!  That's a # you should have...  How can you be working there and not know the #... Finally one of my coworkers *****cently had an appt with the retirement lady walked by.  I asked her for the name and #.  Of course there was no thank you or anything.  Next time the old fart calls, I'll be sure to let him know his happiness is not my first priority any longer.  So, that night he calls my house.  Stupid me answers the phone.  The minute I heard his voice I wanted to .  He was calling to ask George about fishing reports.   How I wish George had played along and told him he didn't know!  Bet my next paycheck (which will be a nice one with my raise) he wouldn't have yelled at George about not knowing and not being helpful.

omg debbie....i have to lol here at this old fart!!! maybe next time you can hang up on him?? say you got cut off??? LOL how ungrateful this old man is!! i agree with you...george should have played along on the not knowing the fishing report...rofl

glad the foot is feeling better!!

hugs

Debbie,
i think the former boss thinks you are his 2nd wife....... Next time tell him to get a life and live with it>>>>> Just teasing. Carla
by the way congratulations on the raise. you deserve it.

How did you STAND it? I am putting you up for sainthood!! My head started to pound just listening to the story. Take care of that foot..Blessings

The Medal of Honor should be included with your check! Or would that be the Purple Heart? Not making light of those who have earned those particular honors but there must be something out there for people like you who take way too much from nasty old geezers!

Debbie, I say that the old goat is getting to be more than a old goat. Not sure what but just remember you don't need to take his **** anymore. I would hang up and if he calls back say that there is problems with the phone and I keep getting disconnected and then hang up again. Maybe he will find someone else to harass. ha ha

I am glad that your foot is feeling better. Just remember to take care and not to bother it to much.

When he said "how can you be working there and not know the number?"...isn't HE working there and doesn't know the number????  I think he needs a chill pill.

I learned this strategy years ago.

Unruly caller..... yelling, badgering, etc....either meet them same/like/kind or merely reach over and hit "goodbye" on the phone.  Wait for a callback and tell them you thought THEY hung up on you and unhappy you are about it.  Total attitude change.

Debbie......that old fart needs to leave you alone.....he should be the one to know all the numbers!!
Next time he calls crumple up a bunch of paper into the phone and claim there is so much static you can't hear him....keep saying hello, hello, are you there......do that a few times...he will leave you alone.

Have a great day...glad the foot is healing!

Hugs.....connie d

Debbie - Can't add much to the other suggestions - but I do like Connie's idea of crumpling up paper !!!

The old fool needs to get a life and leave you alone...

Glad the foot is healing.

Have a great weekend!
