I'll give ya one...right between the eyes...
It's been so stressful at work this past week or so. With tax season just around the corner people are scrambling to get their tax deductions (RSP'S) in place before the 2007 cut off date. For myself and my co-worker that means back to back appointments, late evenings, and tons of paperwork.
We have asked our manager to help us with call backs, mail-outs, and paperwork, in order to (somehow) stay (at least a little) on track.
This morning she told us she would help us as soon as she got back from lunch.
BUT....after lunch...she did not return.
Eventually, we asked the office support girl where she was.
Her reply..
"OH, bosslady was feeling stressed, so she went to her naturalist."
My co-worker and I just look at each other - jaws on the floor.
SHE'S STRESSED?!!!!
Pfft...Whatever......
When she got back she told us her herbalist had given her an acupuncture treatment. A needle between her eyes - helps reduce stress.
"I feel soooo great now", she said. "But unfortunately because I am late getting back from lunch I will have to put off helping you girls until tomorrow" ...and off she went (almost singing) into her office and closed the door.
My co-worker and I just sat there in my office...looking at each other...in SHOCK!!
After a few minutes, as my co-worker is bitching about the boss, I start pulling pinpushes from my bulletin board
My co-worker: " needle between the eyes"..."I'll give her a needle between the eyes. Fuck her ! If anyone needs an a needle between the eyes , to reduce stress around here, it's us. "
I passed a handful of pinpushes and the stapler across the desk at her... and said...
"I wonder would these work? (to reduce our stress)
" you wanna go first?"
We both cracked up!!!

good luck hon! :D
...and, apparently, sticks people between the eyes with a needle!
Yikes. No thanks!
Wow. Tax time in Canada too?
Our countries sometimes seem eerily similar!
I had a female boss that did things like that. She was oblivious, completely so. Except about her own needs. :/
Thank heavens that you have a coworker to share with!
Good luck with the rest of tax season!!!
Have a good night/day :)
hehehe! >:P
happy weekend!
Ha! Too true!
