My boss used to ring me outside of work hours at all times of the night (and day on weekends)and just talk shite for hours blah blah blah shamrock (until I told her I have a life outside work!)

and she is a control freak! frustrated

Ah, my therapy thread at long last:

My boss:

Doesn't like me talking to anyone but him
Going to lunch with anyone but him
Taking holidays
Taking days sick
Driving any vehicle that does not belong to him
Been in the warehouse with the lads
Drinking with the lads
Infact socialising with anyone from work
He doesn't like me not asking for help if I need it
Not asking for money if I need it
He doesnt like going to meetings without me
Going to our fortune teller without me
On Fridays he comes into my office and settles himself down and carries on his work from my office as if its his?
He tells me all his intimate details and expects me to listen
He gives me all the time off I need for goats kidding, farming, just to chill,
He likes when we eat chocolate biscuits and chat for hours,
When we plan new things for the business
He likes it when we go for dinner or to a function at night and he drives me home
He gave me a phone and pays the bill so he can ring me
He likes me, but in a possesive way

dunno

I was lucky I had workmates who supported me and held me back, and reminded me she was going in a month.
