Boss


My interactions with tenants were often punctuated by a corporate staff that shamelessly sexually harassed me to my face, via e-mail and on the phone. The ring leader of this over-sexed crew was Stephen, CEO of the company. When tenants were not calling to tell me that their oven knob was a bit loose, or that their water was a bit too “clear,” I would usually get calls from Stephen, who made me wish I had never left my mother’s uterine cave. Instead of calling my office and saying, “Hello Allison - How are you” my boss had to play a twisted game of “let me verbally rape you:”

1. Me: Good morning, Logan Circle Apartments, How can I help you?

Stephen: "What is this? Your sexy voice? You want something?"

2. Good morning Logan Circle Apartments, How can I help you?

"So I take you out to lunch and I don’t even get a good nut tug? What are you waiting for a weekend get-a-way?

3. Good morning Logan Circle Apartments, How can I help you?

"WAKE UP! Who were YOU with last night? Because you definitely weren't with me."

4. Good Morning Logan Circle Apartments how can I help you?

"So how is my little potato latkah?"

5. Good Morning Logan Circle Apartments how can I help you?

"You've seen Snoop Dog's Girls Gone Wild tape, right? I think I even saw you in it."

6. Good Morning Logan Circle Apartments How can I help you?

"So when are you quitting?"

Me: "Tomorrow"

"Ah, so we can finally sleep together."

Me: "yup. I guess so."

"Yea Vanessa did that too. But she forgot to sleep with me."
