OK. got some exercise. cooled off. well, sort of. I still don't see the solution here. I can't ask her to not spend time with her office and wouldn't want to. Clearly, being pissy isn't going to get me anywhere good in time for W's birthday party or the holidays, or the move.

All I've come up with is humor. A couple friends and I watched the game last night and they know the very basics - that Ws boss is gives her more attention than I am comfortable with. They busted my chops all night. I mentioned that her boss wanted to buy her a trip (a $*@$% river cruise?) for her birthday - they asked if W could take one for the team to get some extra tickets so they could come along. I mean, I think this guy is a joke anyway but I've been too polite to make fun of him. One more: boss is way short with crazy hair, so they thought we should take a troll doll along so we wouldn't miss him too much. oh. petty. I know. And offensive to trolls. Nevertheless, perhaps from now on I will refer to him simply as the head troll.

....it's good I vent here.
