If your boss says: "I know I threw a grenade at you last week..."

[progmom]

Does that count as a semi-apology?
:shrug:

[kick-ass-bob]

1. depends on what comes after it.

if it was "hope you enjoyed it," -- then, no.

[progmom]

4. it was followed by what maybe possibly could have been considered a semi-

sheepish look (or at least some eye contact, which had previously been absent), and then there was no further reference to it.

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Take it. That may be as close as you get to an apology.

:thumbsup:

[progmom]

5. kind of what i was thinking too

:hi:

[Debi]

3. Depends.....does your boss live in Seattle?

tacky, I know....:blush:

[progmom]

7. bad Debi

:spank:




;)

[Debi]

9. At least I didn't call him a chicken

[swag]

6. Well I hope the fucking fool shapes up.

We don't need you to be miserable any more.

[progmom]

18. thanks, swag

:loveya:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. Kick his ass.

[NightNurse]

10. It's a HER I do believe!?!

:crazy:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. Then kick her ass!!

[aden_nak]

11. That totally depends how he ends that phrase.

Good (kinda):

" . . . but the phramacy gave me the wrong prescription of anti-depressants, and I am in counselling now."
" . . . but you DID walk right through the middle of the company-wide Grenade Volleyball Tournament."

Bad:

" . . . but I threw the pin, too. You had a sporting chance."
" . . . and you look hot in that skirt."

Really Bad:

" . . . Nice dodge, sucker."

[progmom]

17. ahhhhhh

:rofl:

[tjwmason]

13. Yes - a very weak one - but one nonetheless

The phrase 'a grenade' rather implies that it was unwarranted, and hence wrong.

On the other hand, the weakness of the apology does mean that if you want to stay vexed with her, that's fine.

[progmom]

16. thanks for the perspective

kind of what i was thinking.

[flvegan]

14. The question is: did he pull the pin first?

[progmom]

15. i imploded

not sure if that answers the question

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. As one who is suffering from a boss's lack of competence...

:hug: ...and no. ;)

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. For some personalities, saying that would have been like having

their teeth pulled. I guess that would make it apologetic-like...

Did you say "Apology accepted?" :D

[bettyellen]

21. wow, i guess that's good, huh?

then i'm happy for you.
but don't leave her alone with your computer.
:hug:

[progmom]

22. better than it could have been

thanks for the ear the other night. :D

[bettyellen]

25. anytime at all.

and my recommendation sticks
"working with difficult people" will help you sort out the WTF of it all.
It's a revelation wen you see the entry that aligns 100% with the freak you are dealing with.

[GOPisEvil]

23. Its an acknowledgement, not an apology.

But, it might be all you get.

[billyskank]

24. That's as good as it's going to get

I'd accept it and count your blessings. :)

[Shell Beau]

26. Some people just can't bring themselves to apologize.

You know that stupid pride thing! But it sounds like a way of apologizing or at least understanding.

[GalleryGod]

27. An Acknowledgment. As Our Department Chair,says "What's Your Point!?"

I agree with David. Acknowledgment not apology. Not even near an apology for that matter.

Grin 'N Bear it ! :wtf:

[bridgit]

28. yup...

[Blue-Jay]

29. Do you have her address?

[Tsiyu]

30. Wow, I am so having a deja vu reading your OP

It counts as an acknowledgement, not necessarily an apology (IMHO)


:hi:

On edit: Wow, three of us said the same thing...( sorry, i posted before I read replies) what does it mean?

[In_The_Wind]

31. it's better than nothin

is there any chance that she is reading DU

[I Have A Dream]

32. I guess so, but she sounds like a loose cannon to me.

Poor you!
