My boss is like an alien struggling to understand how to be a human being. We see her once a week, she pops her head in, has a vein attempt at small talk which is so awkward it makes all of us feel like we're stuck in a room with a psychopath, so we laugh heartily at her sorry excuses for jokes and we smile nervously when we're not sure whether it was a joke at all.
If you are sick with the flu, she asks you why you got the flu - as though getting it was somehow your fault, and is something she can stop from reoccuring. And she allows you to leave the meeting only after patting you on the back and saying in a sing song voice 'well we won't be getting sick again, will we?' and you smile awkwardly back, replying with 'fingers crossed', because you've discovered it is easier to humour her.
She talks in word play like every moment of her life is a speech rather than an actual dialogue, and she does not take kindly to any form of dissagreement. In fact it is almost impossible to argue with her, as she is incapable of seeing anyone elses point of view. Your opposition is an inconvienience and she will swat away your point like it's a hovering fly.
I am simply grateful that she does not work in our office, and that her presence only has to bother us for such a short amount of time a week. I feel so very very sorry for my supervisor, who answers directly too her, as in the short space of time our Boss has been in charge, she is nearly suffering a mental breakdown.
