note to self: don't get in a fight with your boss

so i guess the new lady isn't all that bad. but she was talking about how she's so religious and her sons goes to catholic school and all, and then she asked me about the picture of my fiance' on my desk. i told her about us and how we bought a house together, blah, blah, blah... then she proceeds to judge me:

new lady: "YOU'RE NOT MARRIED? WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK? WHAT DO HIS PARENTS THINK? YOUR GOING TO HELL!"

(ok, she didn't say i'm going to hell, but she might as well have said it.)

me: "MY PARENTS ARE COOL WITH IT AND HIS PARENTS ARE DEAD!"

that was the end of the conversation. anyway, besides that, she seemed happy & cheerful. so i had to pretend to be happy and cheerful too.

my boss left me alone with her to teach her how to answer the phone and all and when she came back she said:

mean boss: "i trust michele told you i like a nice sunshine voice when you answer the phone?"

new lady looks at me like "no you didn't!"

me: "no, i didn't"

mean boss: "well our callers like to be greeted with a warm, smiling voice"

me: "well i don't have a warm, smiling voice"

new lady jumps in: "well, i do."

mean boss: "i trust michele told you what to say when you answer the phone?"

me: "mmm hmm... 'good morning... prudential tropical realty' "

mean boss: "no, you need to say " good morning...prudential tropical realty, how may i direct your call?" "

me: "well, if you say too much, people interupt you. the shorter the better"

new lady looks like she wants to cry

mean boss: "well do whatever you want then" *walks away*

me: "well, new lady, you should do it my way"

new lady: "i have to go now... bye"

so i hope i didn't scare her off, but i found out she is only temporary. so i am going to have to meet and train someone else? well i hope its a gay man. i love me some gay men.
