All the way thru I called him "[real name] the turd." Talk about cathartic. After I let Hubs read the story, I did a global change. :( No sense courting trouble.

I worked until COBRA would cover the gap before Medicare kicked in for my husband. That way we only had to buy one individual policy.

I've revisited several bad bosses, placed them in different roles and let my imagination have free rein. Such fun.
