We Will Not Step Over Him

(Encyclopedia_Brown, thank you, that was very sweet.)

So Turkey fired the Sub. In a weird twist of what-the-fuckness, the Sub claimed to Turkey and Office Manager (who was there as a witness) that I was trying to sabotage his job. Turkey has clearly been drinking the Green Kool Aid because according to Office Manager, totally stood up for me and was all, "Green would NEVER do that! She has tried over and over to help you!" Which is true. I did try to help him as much as I could. I'm touched that Turkey knew.

Now we're working on getting a new Personal Assistant. Turkey is interviewing someone tomorrow. At his country home (which he's at for the week). I am terrified this poor girl will show up at his house and Turkey will be naked, save for socks, in the pool. By the way, Turkey is very scatter-brained. He decided to spend the first week of each summer month at his country home. I decided, why stop there? So I scheduled him to go there through the rest of the year for the first week of every month. Let's see what happens!

Anyway. I got outrageously stressed out about the Sub being fired. I almost called in sick the day it was going to happen. The PA and Sub are good friends. Turkey's been having the PA work from home so today was the first time she showed up at the office in almost a month. She tried to tell me that if I get the chance, I should go to Burning Man. Ha ha ha! Clearly she doesn't know me at ALL.

The good thing about her showing up at the office though, was that she told me the Sub was given two weeks severance pay, and a week after being fired he got another job. He really deserved to be let go. I felt bad about it so it was quite a relief to hear he found work so easily. Whenever I hear about anyone being out of work I am instantly terrified for them that they will go through what I did, and have to stifle the urge to ask if they need some tampons or toothpaste.
