Wow Lookout - you're making me want to come work for you. Sounds like she has had plenty of opportunities to improve her performance. I've worked for the same FA for almost 10 years - if I EVER gave him attitude like that he would jump all over me. But I would never give him attitude. He is amazing and treats me like gold, so I afford him the same respect.

Watch out she doesn't knock you out, put you in a harness and hang you from a garage door opener.

Sounds like you are handling things just right.

It's just a life skill.

If you didn't have to ride herd on your assistant so much, you'd have time to do things like proofread your own work.

Better yet, have Clementine proof your posts. That way, you're guaranteed that one problem will be solved. Either your posts are all spelled right or she closes the coffin door by failing to do so. Win win.


Plus I bet she'd make some entertaining posts of her own.. :hehehe:

it has happened. the day has finally come. actually it was supposed to be friday but Clementine called in sick (what a shock).

after she had been caught blatantly shirking her duties twice in one week, and acting in direct defiance of my directions I had a little discussion with HR and Clementine. She came unglued. yelling, screaming, transparent lies... while i was furious at the time, i was partially amused.

as of 8:05 tomorrow morning Clementine will be unemployed. (i am not happy about that). She will not be working for me (I am ecstatic about that).

na nana nanana...heyheyhey... get the eff out!


since all you fine cellarites were witness to my whining about the situation for most of the year, i thought i should at least fill you in about the conclusion.

i haven't been in the cellar much, and i miss it - but i've set a personal goal to triple my income for the next 12 months so i really have had to buckle down a bunch. there probably won't be anymore 20 post days from lookout, but i will check in whenever i get a chance.

until then, adieu

Congrats, lookout! Nothing like taking out the garbage! I have missed you, but I can see where work comes first and you've set an awesome goal for yourself--wish I had half that ambition! Best of everything and Kisses!

forgot to update. she didn't take termination well. i didn't really expect her too, but i was surprised at the idiocy.

I am:

stupid
asshole
stupid
jerk
stupid
brat
effing idiot
brat
incompetent
stupid brat
prick
stupid
dickhead
stupid
and...
lucky that my wife is stupid enough to fall in love with me (well, no shit)

in between each of these she pointed out that she had some choice words she could say about me, but she was "too much of a lady". classy bitch, ain't she.

i had to threaten to call the cops to get her to leave because an hour after she was terminated she was still sitting at the desk opening my mail telling me that only she "gets to decide when she is done working for the firm".

she then proceeded to inform me that my business was going to collapse without her and her expertise.

she is already replaced by a wonderful woman who is fully trained and has been working for a colleague. oh yeah, she is the one that has voluntarily trained all the newbies in her area too.

i'm pretty concerned about the business collapsing.

You could have had her arrested and charged with mail tampering, you know.

Sounds like it went well except for the parts that sucked.

I think it's great news. I'm pleased for you that she is out of your life.

It's not the employees you fire that usually give your work the most grief, but the ones you hesitate to fire. This one sounds irr... okay. Effin' crazy and headed for an institution.

strangely enough it does cause me great heartburn that she was terminated and is unemployed. but that heartburn is salved and overwhelmed by the utter joy i feel with the knowledge that she is out of my life - after the inevitable lawsuit.
