Split Personality
We were convinced that my boss was bipolar. She only worked
two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays), so it wasn’t as hard to
deal with. She was known for nitpicking everything and looking for
any mistake that had been made or any detail that had been missed.
One Thursday, she comes into the office on one of her tirades. Of
course, since we shared an office, she drilled me for about 2 hours
until she found something, then had the talk with me about slacking
off and not doing my job properly.
Her next work day in the office was a Tuesday. She came in with a
smile, a large coffee and a $100 Target gift card for me, with the
note, “Keep up the great work!”
I’m still perplexed.

Well it sounds like ur boss finally got laid! hahaha
We have the same boss! (Mo, is that you?)
That’s funny! You wouldn’t know what to expect from one day to the next…
sounds like my mother in law
record that next time or if you get a boss like that again.
U have no idea what u are talking about! Bipolar is not split personalities and certainately nothing to make fun of. It’s an illness dumbass! Not a personality defect!
Her name wasn’t Marilyn by any chance, was it?
While I don’t agree with the tone used, gigij is correct. Bi-Polar and split personalities are 2 different disorders. It is slightly offensive to those of us who actually have one (or both?) of these disorders
just thought I’d let you know, for future references.
Really? Of all of the things in the world to be offended by, you were offended by the comment in his story about the proper term/diagnoses for bi-polar or split personality disorder? Oiy. Funny story though. I think we’ve all had boss’ with crazy issues. Not always that extreme but I, for one, have certainly had my fair share.
People really should not be offended when someone misdiagnoses behavior as bipolar. It’s a very poorly understood condition – to the point that it’s changed from a medical term to a layman’s explanation for erratic behavior. It’s just one of those strange quirks in society.
OMG! The point of the story was NOT bipolar/split personality and I wasn’t making fun of that, you idiot! I was making fun of the mood swings. Seriously, you’re going to go off about that? And to be perfectly honest, if you knew my boss and read up on the symptoms of bipolar, she met the description.
@Derek: Sorry, not Marilyn. Her name was Susie!
