For the Love of God, Just Get a Divorce
There’s nothing worse than being around someone in a bad marriage
My boss has undiagnosed ADHD. He talks non-stop. I have seen people walk backwards out of doors to get away from him. I have seen people tell him outright to “STOP TALKING” in an attempt to make him shut up.
Judges have to tell him, from the bench during trials, to JUST STOP TALKING.
Nothing works.
We almost never see clients in person at the office, thank God, because some of them will walk by my sliding window and make the “crazy” sign as they leave.
I nod sympathetically.
When I go into his office to tell him something, I’ll get maybe two words out before he interrupts me and starts talking about whatever is spinning through his head at the moment.
I’m attempting to communicate solely by text and email. If he does something wrong, he starts an argument and insists he’s right until I show him just how wrong he is.
If I tell him we’ve already had a conversation about something, which I’ve then followed up in writing, he will deny it.
He has the attention span of a goldfish.
