I once worked for a devil-woman, as her secretary. One time I looked in her office window; I saw her on speaker phone, looking under her desk. She came out of her office with a small pile of folders. I went to take them from her; she just kind of “flipped” the pile…and off of it flew – onto my desk – a dead spider. She yelled, “Call maintenance; I found a cockroach in my office!” I just looked at the poor thing (OK…I like spiders), and muttered, “That’s a spider.” She went ballistic! “I THINK I know the difference between a spider and a roach! Hey, Yvon!” Yvon, a very gentle man, was walking by. “Is that a roach or a spider!?” Yvon, shocked, said, “A spider.” “Fine!” she yelled. “I GUESS I made a mistake!” She went into her office, slamming the door behind her. A short time later, my husband came to pick me up from work. He asked me how my day went…and I screamed & burst into tears.
