Seriously, I didn't see the movie (i know, i know, amazing I missed it) until about 2 years ago and I was like HEY they made a movie about my life except where she gets the guy and becomes rich. Instead I ran screaming and am not looking forward to returning.

That mental image you just stuck in my head of the Troll is giving me the dry heaves. <BR/><BR/>I've had my share of completely horrific bosses, and it sucks going through it. But once you're free, it's always nice to be able to look back, breathe a sigh of relief and be happy that you're away from that environment. You get the last laugh because you're in a better place, but I'm sure the Troll is still a Troll.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963432418989382127.post-91121280060161983882008-08-07T16:17:00.000-04:002008-08-07T16:17:00.000-04:00If you replaced boss with boyfriends, I can totall...If you replaced boss with boyfriends, I can totally relate to this post.
