Arrggg!

It is not my fault that my boss is a bully. It is not my fault when he passes the blame. It is not my fault when he makes livid accusations.

I will not be bullied. I will not be intimidated. I will not kiss his ass.

I will do my job. I will grin and bare it. I will bite my tongue.

Three more months. The end is in sight. My co-worker leaves in less than a week. We have an opening night performance and reception tonight. It should joyous. It should be celebratory. I will grin and bare it. I will bite my tongue.

I still do not know if I have a meeting regarding the "condescending and insubordinate" message I left on his voice mail over some confusion that arose yesterday.A meeting, I was told over the phone, we would have later. I have yet to hear a response back to my emailed request to set up a time for said meeting...24 hours later, conveniently breaking his own rule about prompt responses.

I've told the managing director I will not be returning next season. And I will tell the artistic director tomorrow. I will not let my decision become about my immediate supervisor, though he is a major concern. I am leaving for personal reasons.

Three more months. Grin and bare it.
