hlong: I'm not mad about not being consulted. I just worry sometimes about Y's impulsiviness.

Y and I have patched things up. I thought about what my older son had said, and tried to make peace with Y. Eventually, we did. Y promised to find a way to put the washing machine higher

X had dinner with us tonight; he complained about a new team member of his.

"She's got great instincts,but is a real pain in the ass!" he told us. "Yesterday, I ordered her and her partner to bring someone in. She tried to get me to change my mind by saying that some of the information wasn't corroborated enough, and that it didn't feel right. I got firm, and so she went. I go to check on her progress with the suspect, only to see that she had left her partner, fresh from ---------, to do the interogation alone. Turned out she was elsewhere pursuing a lead of her own choosing" X shook his head. It's never easy being a boss. "Once I told her that I wanted a report, as it was late,so she said that she wanted a million dollars and we can't always get what we want"

"Sounds like she's a handfull" I commiserated.

"She is..." X groaned and shook his head. "Still writing in your blog Dad?"

"It's been a few days, but I'm going to tonight." I replied.

"Dad has the weirdest dreams !" Y remarked.

"Yeah?"

"He dreamt that you were a PI and that you got me to pretend to be a blind psychic for a case"

X chuckled. "I'd pay to see you as a blind psychic." X and I both knew Y's hatred of psychics. My two sons had argued on the issue, when X has used a psychic in a case.

"Maybe I could be that for a halloween party" Y smiled

After dinner, my sons and I spent a quiet evening together.

My sympathies for X!! I've had subordinates just like that! I guess whether the office is full of engineers, doctors, or law enforcement personell, people will be people.

btw-I'm glad you made up with Y!

X should tell his subordinate that if she wants to do things her way, she should resign from whatever agency they're in, and become a PI.

btw- I still think you were annoyed about not being consulted.

It's great that you and Y patched things up! I hope it stays that way.

I've actually met someone who is a psychic! Trust me she was the real thing! She knew stuff that I had never told anyone.

That woman who gives X a hard time would never be able to hack working for my boss, who let's just say is very pernicky. He's got more phobias than even the most powerful supercomputer in the world can calculate! He's even afraid of milk!

Y sounds like a sheltered brat(what normal person buys his childhood home??), and X reminds me of my boss, but without the huge funbags, and is someone who needs to get a life. It seems like he spends all of his free time with 'Y' and the blogger.

Well, I gotta go, I've got an appointement with a prostitute. Maybe X should hire one?
