Problems with drinking!
She drank heavily, but she was 'THE BOSS' my boss as my luck would have
it. As the office manager, she has good reason to drink. HER bosses were
egomaniacs, attorneys with huge egos, who thought nothing of screaming
at a poor secretary until she burst into tears. This occurred often and
I, the receptionist, would watch with horror.
In the 70s, that's what you did to your female staff. If you liked your
secretary, you would also patronize her after she broke down: 'there,
there... there's a good girl. Go get yourself together.' Then, after she
left, you'd snigger along with the other attorneys behind her back.
I thought I might 'advance' one day. But I had annoyed one of the
attorneys by calling in sick. Never mind that I had doctors'
certificates. My drunken boss fired me anyway. She called me into her
office and with a cigarette in one hand, a drink in the other, she said:
"Yur rrrr firedddd."
Driving home, I got rear-ended by a drunken driver. I wisely hired an
attorney and sued. I received weeks of vacation and replaced my crummy
honda with a new truck.
Attorneys are a necessary evil.
