She had the audacity to say “since your indecisive do you really ‘need’ to go on a vacation, there is a lot of work here for you to do and not slack around”. For the first time in my life I actually got a head rush of anger and confusion at the same time. She is a boomer of course and I was so thrown off that I just stood there in complete silence for a full minute and just nodded and she did that shrug then Walked off. I hate working for a generation that acts work is all there is, I get paid decent but god damn that makes me angry, I’m still fuming as I type this.
