Although I was suffering from bronchitis, my crazy boss still insisted I travel to her office for a meeting. Fine, I agreed. Then I headed back to my own office about 4 p.m., feeling worst than ever. When I arrive at my desk, I discover that she was already looking for me and had left numerous messages. I returned her call.

She wanted me to travel back to her office–as sick as I was and as late as it was–to simply help her look for a file.  I told her that I was sure that she and her assistant could find her missing file without me.  She hung up on me. Moments later, my own assistant comes into my office announcing she has been instructed to go through my files and cabinets to look for said missing file. Suffice it to say she did not find it.

My crazy boss called again and demanded that I return to her office to locate her missing file. I refused. She actually then had the nerve to write me up for insubordination AND someone from her office called to tell me they found the file–in her own assistant’s cubicle.
