My girlfriend's boss is crazy. As soon as word leaked to her that her English teacher was dating her employee, she said "I'm going to fire him!"

Last week I'm informed to give her all the material I'm teaching her employee's with, so she can make a test for them, to see how their English is progressing. As if 3 months of English classes 2 hours a week could make any substantial progress in a language that takes 2 decades just to get up to an adult-speaking level. Of course Venco's (the company's name) employees felt the comfortable relaxed carpet of learning English pulled from under them, making them nervous. It's serious now. None of that Brian McKnight music or Peanuts comic strips fun-ness I give them in class anymore. It's testing time!

But perhaps the Venco employees don't realize that their boss actually doesn't give a damn about their English. Actually she's just looking for an excuse to fire me...by shoving it in my face: "why is their English still crap!"

The turnover rate at her company is high...because she's extremely critical of her employee's, right to their face. The only one she treats nicely is the mediocre employee who gets tea and coffee for her.

She (the boss) told my girlfriend that it's too bad she's dating me, me being such a bum and all (in her eyes) - what with my motorcycle and poorly ironed clothes, and youngness written on my face...not to mention my teaching occupation which isn't as worthy as her profitable business. Funny thing is that I make more money than the #2 boss does at her company!
