Yeah - there is waaaaaaaaaay more to this story however. He is always trying to pass off his work and will throw anyone under the buss at the soonest opportunity

The lazy comment came when he was playing fucking cards when he was supposed to be working. An email came to him and he stopped to come over to me to try to get me to do his work. I told -politely- no that I had other work to do. He told me that wasn't a good attitude and that I should "stop being such a fucking baby" (<- direct quote) I bristled at that and told him that I had my own work to do and didn't have time to do his as well. He then continued to try and tell me how busy he was and that he expected me to complete his work. So I told him that "If you weren't so lazy and spent all your time goofing off you would have plenty of time to do your work" (He plays cards, surfs the internet and takes about (8) 15 min smoke breaks a day)

There are many incidents like this one that happen to not only myself. Out of our 50 employees I don't think there is a single person who likes him. Unfortunately it is very hard for managers to get fired where i work

And while I was typing those responses - more drama. My wife did not get the job *sigh*

AN annoying thing abou the job situation is that she is told that they want to hire her and that they think she would be the best teacher for the position but they can't hire her because of her low level of senority in the district. Fucking unions

Hey... at least you don't have to go through this alone. You've got your wife there with you and she's got you. That right there can sometimes be the difference in making it and not.

Hang in there. It sounds like your marriage will be a lot stronger after you make it through this.

I honestly thought I was having a rough patch. This really put things into perspective for me. I KNOW you will pull through. God bless and you'll definitely be in my prayer!
