Me too. I used to be stressed out because of a mean boss.

My car hasn't had any shop time in almost 3 years. I also can no longer afford contribute to my 401K (as if it mattered anymore). I get the rent paid, but at the expense of eating extremely poorly. (Why is the cheap food always the stuff that's bd for you?) So now my cholesterol is through the roof. I can't afford to take a day off, and if I did, can't afford to go anywhere. A trip to the supermarket is an exercise in how well my antidepressants are working, because nothing is more depressing than not being able to afford most of what's in the store. I pray that my pets stay well, because who can afford vet bills? If my car breaks down someday, I'll be a permanent pedestrian. I HATE being poor, and I've come to detest the MTSO's, AHDI, and the whole MT field.

Stressed.....
I don't know how I can live without him, but he's horrible & mean. We have 3 sons, one of them older. I just can't imagine what a separation would do to them. He's an alcoholic jerk that can't seem to find happiness in anything. Advice? or resources?
When I'm stressed out, I like to
get a pedicure. It's very relaxing and costs about $20 (in my area). It's worth every penny. Not only do I have someone waiting on me and rubbing my feet (the stone rubs are the best), but I also have an hour to myself with no hubby, no kids, no pets, no work. If that's not something you can get away to do, try taking a long walk. I like walking through town during the day and looking at everyone's houses. Most people aren't home during the day, so they don't see you looking!
I know life can be stressful, I've definitely had my share in 2007. I took Effexor for about 4 years up until this December and let me say that I would never recommend taking an antidepressant. Getting off was a royal B*****! There are some medications that your doctor can prescribe that are not *addicting*, but make sure you do your research first. Had I known then what I found out later, no way would I have taken that drug. It wasn't worth it.
Now that I have been able to get off Effexor, I know that life is stressful. That's just the way it is. It's not me, it's the circumstances we're in. I hope things go well for you. Remember, spring is just around the corner. Take time to stop and smell the roses!!!
I think that if he is stressed out
he won't have any benefits and won't learn a thing.
I get stressed a lot sm
I have two small children and one will just absolutely not listen sometimes and that really stresses me out. I try to take it easy and not let it worry me too much though.
your boss and
Unless you make over $250,000 a year, your boss my be taking advantage of you. We are all supposed to get an increase of $13 per week for a total increase of around $52 per month. It was in the stabilization bill just passed.

I'm the boss at my other job. I enjoy the
homemade items, ie. cake, a tin of misc cookies or candies. Very sweet and simple.
boss of the ways
Here's one: When my son was 4 we were on vacation, lost, and I kept telling my husband, Go this way, go that way, etc. My son got frustrated with driving around for so long aimlessly had some ideas of his own, and yelled, "Hey, I am the boss of the ways!" He is 19 now and we still use the phrase.
My boss, when I worked as
an MT at a company called Physician Services Plus. She lied, she cheated on my W2 and she stole my credit card and attempted to open an account! When this was all brought to light, she fired me and did her best to withhold my last paycheck. grrrrrrrrrrrr
this man sounds stressed out . . . he needs help quickly. nm

Christmas Gift for Boss
My other job is a legal secretary. I am looking for gift ideas for my boss that was not too expensive. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
You are comparing your aunt's boss to someone's child?
Sorry, just an odd response. There is nothing that compares to the loss of one's child. My heart goes out to the other poster.
Tell them, my own boss, years ago no restraining order
for a husband. They could beat you and half kill you and you were considered their property. I know because have been there.
Make sure boss is using biweekly tables
As opposed to the semi monthly tables. That can make a big difference. I had an accountant/bookkeeper do that to me once long ago with a raise. I had calculated it and I knew it was supposed to be somewhere in the range of $50 more in my check and the actual check came and was only $1 more. We went round and round and finally I banged it into her head that she was using the wrong table.
use the link that Tech Support gave you for the IRS tables. Find your state's tax and revenue site and get your tax withholding tables and then add 7.65% for your FICA/MedFICA. Calculate it out yourself with what you think is a fair degree of accuracy and then compare it to what your boss has.
If it's the same, then I'm sorry. If it's not, though, you can go to your boss and ask her to clarify what portion of the table she is using.
She may not be taking you for a ride, so to speak, she may just truly be making a mistake on the withholding table.
I once had a psycho boss at a small community -
hospital I worked at. Our transcription dept. consisted of just 3 of us, and we sat in a far corner of the medical records dept., next to the microfilm guy. The boss ('P'), and I were the only full-time MTs; the other MT only worked half-days, and she and I shared a desk. She worked from 8-12:30, I worked from 1-9:30 pm. This boss gave me the longest, most ridiculous oral 'transcription' test I've ever taken anywhere. Oddly, no typing test. So, I was hired.
The other MT told me no matter what you do, don't do more work than P, or she'll get insanely jealous. ?? So one fateful day, I made the mistake of typing more reports than she did. She changed to several different shades of red and purple, and I never saw anyone's lips get so thin in my entire life! Her mouth became just a pencil-thin straight line. After that day, she made my life a living he11. Always picking apart my work, trying to say I'd skipped out of work early one day and missed the life-flight helicopter bringing patients to the ER. (No, I was there, and I typed their H&P's).
She also had a running feud going on with the entire MR department, and instructed me that I wasn't allowed to speak with ANY of them. I was friends with the microfilm guy, and others in MR, and so I very politely told her that although I wouldn't chit-chat with them while I was WORKING, that what I did on my breaks and my own time was my own business, and that no one tells me who I may or may not associate with.
Would you believe this b___ch would actually feign leaving work for the day (her shift ended at 5 pm), and then would sneak back anywhere from 15 minutes to 5 hours later, just to peep in the window from outside and see if I was talking to anyone? She was a real piece of work, that one.
I eventually took another job (with a service that she occasionally sent our overflow work to). The new boss didn't want me telling her where I was going (which I wouldn't have, anyway - she was a very vindictive person), so when she asked where I was going to, I made up a doctor in the city - an impossible to pronounce, Chinese-sounding name. I told her it sounded sort of like 'Chiaong', but I had no idea how it was spelled. I also told her that because of his very thick accent, he was going to pay me twice what I was making at the hospital. Boy, did she ever turn dark RED when I told her THAT!
A few days later, my other co-worker (obviously on instructions from P), was trying to squeeze the name and address of the new 'doctor' out of me, but I just told her I knew where the building was, but that I'd walked there from an underground parking lot and didn't know the address, just that it was on the 9th floor. I just KNEW P. wanted to find this doctor and try to get the job for herself (which I learned is how she got the MT job at that hospital). So, I'm sure she spent hours perusing the downtown phone book, looking for Dr. 'Chiaong'!!! I also wouldn't have put it past her to go off in search of this mythical medical building I made up.
Sometimes mean people can be fun to jerk around. ;)
Anyone else ever seem to get GI problems when stressed out with these jobs. My abdominal area
actually feels sore or irritated.
I completely understand. I dont feel stressed but there must be something bothering us I think.
I guess we always dont exactly know what stresses us because it could be just a lot of things together that arent really terrible but just little stressors of every day life.
