    Quote val15: It's a really small office. There's no HR department. There's the bboss, her mom, my supervisor, and myself and the rest of the interviewers. I think I'm going to tell him that I did it for awhile but now that his fiance is living with him and she has a car, I feel it's her responsibility (which it really isn't but it's more hers than it is mine). Also, isn't there some sort of law against using taxpayer money to pay for personal things like a wedding, a ring and a honeymoon? I really don't see how he can use grant money for college to pay for that stuff.


    This guy is truly lacking in morals, but then that is evident in how he is using you. You really need to distance yourself from him. I wish you the best, just remember God never closes a door without opening a window. This too shall pass.

    Thanks for the pep talk and the kind words.

    Have you mentioned to your boss that it hurt your feelings? He might just be thinking that you wouldn't be able to make it because you live out of town. It could all be a misunderstanding.

    I wouldn't necessarily jump over his head to talk to his supervisor until you spoke with him.

    An earlier suggestion that was mentioned (can't remember who by, sorry) that you lie and say that your husband isn't comfortable with your driving him is excellent. It preserves good will on his side and doesn't really allow for repercussions. I would also follow someone else's advice and ask for compensation for carting him around. Or, just ask him for some gas money.

    Small companies are hard. Best of luck.

    No, I haven't really said anything about anything. I'm just doing my job with little or no socializing. As an update, the day before payday he asked me if I would loan him some money for lunch. I told him the truth, which was that I didn't have any. Seems odd. That's the first time he's ever asked me for money and it's right after his fiance moves in. Anyway, actively looking for new job. Note to self -- in the future if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. My little small voice is smarter than I am.

    Maybe it's a very small wedding with only family and few close friends.
    How many other people from the office are going?

    Everyone who works with him on a regular basis except me, although that's only a few people because we're down to a skeleton crew. It's just weird because I never saw this coming in a million years. But things are not going well at the office anyway. I have a weird feeling that the company won't be open much longer and that's why I'm actively looking for a new job.

    Then I totally understand your feelings.
    Next time he's in YOUR car, casually ask him how the wedding plans are coming along.

    Just wondering how things are going...

    I guess that I would be relieved that I don't have to buy this bozo a wedding gift, since you're not invited...perhaps a card that says, "I gave you gas!"

    Don't know how old you are, but believe me, wisdom does come with age, and these type of little creeps become less important, and more easy to laugh at......it's hard times, but one's own self-worth still accounts for a lot...

    Good luck with your job search...but watch that exit interview! "How would you improve our stupid little company?" Oh, I wouldn't! It is perfect! I just needed something else at this time... (Anything else! )

    I'm old enough to know you're right. I am relieved now that I feel like I've been excluded. The job search is coming along. Not much action right now but I'm not giving up. Thanks for the heads up on the exit interview. I've been thinking about that too. I do plan to keeep it positive. You can't really go wrong with positive.
