What was she thinking???
Does this seem odd to you?

One of our co-workers is leaving as of today for a different job. Everyone (well, all the women) were bringing in a dish i.e. salad or BBq or cake, chips, etc. to have a Good Bye Lunch for her.

The Office Mgr, (a woman) told each of us that she had to attend a Continuing Education meeting and didn't know when she would return and that we should go ahead and have the lunch. One of the other women who now thinks she runs the office when the Mgr is out went around and told all of the women that "we could fill our plates and take them back to our own office and eat at our desk"!!) When the head of the Personal Lines told her that we were all supposed to eat together in the conference room, she said. "No, OFc Mgr wants us to each eat in our own office." Personal LInes said "that makes no sense, why would we each bring in food and then not eat together and spend time with the woman who is leaving?"

So, the Ofc.Mgr.want-to-bee got mad, stomped back to her office and refused to talk to the rest of us. We waited until 12:30 and then had lunch in the conference room. The phones were still being answered and we were taking our calls. What really made me mad was we only took 1/2 hour instead of our full hour for lunch. Somehow it felt like we were being punished for having a goodbye lunch which we basically made ourselves!!!

Of course we ladies in the conference room talked about the mgr. want-to-be and how it is going to be interesting to see how much she tries to run the show. I wonder how long before the Ofc Mgr finds out what she is doing and goes to the owner of the agency.

Thank goodness the day is over.
