Boss has not shared with me the results of his and the president’s second meeting. I vacillate between thinking this is a good thing (If my actions were so awful, wouldn’t he want to come over and tell me to immediately cease and desist all action?) and thinking this is a terrible thing (If I were a commendable employee, wouldn’t he be speaking to me?).

As has been discussed, Boss scares me during the best of times and my newly found paranoia that I am doing a total crap job has not made me feel any more comfortable. I am terrified to walk by his office, let alone into it. As a result, I have been taking an alternate bathroom route all day and going to a different floor to use the water fountain.

Perhaps he is not ignoring me and it is simply that I have been skulking around like a criminal, making it difficult to say “Good job! President loves what you’ve been doing!” as I have been darting past him at breakneck speed and refusing to make eye contact.

A nice thought but somehow, I think not.
