Hi Finished work at 4 today now sitting down after tea and a few drinks finally chilling out. Worked today with Mrs Jekle or is it Mrs Hyde never remember which ones which. Love my job great group of people except for the one. Still wont except that I am a grown up and i am not thick wont accept when she is wrong. Will not listen to anything you say even if your way makes more sense. When she feels threatened in her job she will belittle you no stop. Called me the Junior for god knows how long in front of the customers until I told the boss (hey would not mind but I am 38 for god sake) any advice

Kim - you must be joking aren't you? No fitted curtains sold! There are male versions of these employers too. I was in the happy position to leave without notice (waited until I'd collected my pay) and told the boss who up to then had been deaf why I was leaving. Went to another place, less pay but more enjoyment. No regrets about the change. Er, I was a bit younger than 38 though but was the junior. C

I often wondered where my boss worked before coming to our store. Will have to ask her what she knows about selling curtains lol You would think people would make an effort on christmas eve to make their windows look nice for their visitors. Honestly what is this world coming to.
