I think my psycho boss, Mr Italiano, has a crush on me.

During our lunch meeting two weeks ago, Mr. Italiano and I had a real “bonding” moment. While doling out a sarcastic remark to me as I tried to eat my sea bass entrée, I decided to dish some of his attitude right back at him by giving him a dirty look. Apparently, he found my move gutsy and stated that he wanted “to work more with me.” WTF? Anyhow, not thinking very much of his utterance, I went back to work and totally disregarded the events that occurred that day.

Several days after our lunch meeting, I was working in my office with the bad “feng shui” setup when suddenly, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. Turning around, I found Mr. Italiano walking slowly by my office, gazing at me intensely. Feeling a bit awkward, I whipped back around towards my desk and stared at my computer. I felt a little “dirty”, as if though his stare had sullied me in some way.

At our holiday party last Saturday, myself and husband found ourselves being assigned seats at the same table as Mr. Italiano and his wife, right NEXT to them. For most of the night, you can tell Mr Italiano took a great interest in checking out my husband.

Hopefully I am reading a little too much into Mr Italiano’s behavior. Sometimes, I cannot help but wonder if I have made a grand mistake by accepting a job offer with my current employer.

Christmas day has always been a very hectic day for hubby and me, shuttling between his family’s holiday celebration and my family’s festivities. This Christmas was no different, and hubby and I went straight from his sister’s house in Belmont to my sister’s flat in the Richmond district. I think I have gained 5 pounds from our gluttonous holiday diet.
I was looking over our receipts this evening and realized that we spent $900 dollars on gift cards this year!
Happy Holidays everyone!!!
