My boss is irritating me to no end these days. If I am on the phone with a client he listens in on the conversation and then butts in and tells me things to say to the client or questions to ask the client.

My last phone conversation I mis-spoke and said we'd be sending the client a fax when I actually meant e-mail and before I could correct myself my boss shouted (from his office) an email, you're sending an email! Now, I realized the second I mis-spoke that I had made the error and was trying to correct myself before the boss butted in.

How can I tactfully approach him and tell him that I do not like that he cuts into my conversations?

How can I tell him if he has something he wants me to say or ask my clients to tell me before I am on the phone?

How can I tell him that his screaming across the office to correct me for something so trivial is unnecessary?

I am at the point where I just want to yell at him and tell him if he continues to interrupt my calls with his questions and comments then maybe he should make (or take) the calls himself.

Suggestions??

Just wondering because I was supposed to get mine direct deposited yesterday per the IRS WMR site and have yet to receive it. MetaBank shows they received it but the site says it's not being direct deposited into my account until 1/29.

I filed early. My return was accepted on 1/17. The IRS WMR site shows my refund was to be direct deposited into my account yesterday. The MetaBank (TurboTax) site states that they have received all or part of my refund (the site shows the amount they received and it's all of my refund) and they expect to direct deposit it into my account 1/29. Has anyone encountered this? If they've got my refund money, why are they holding it? Is anyone else experiencing something similar to this?

I've not been very close to my father's side of the family for quite sometime now. This January my father died and although I was notified by my step mother of his death and invited to his viewing she never notified me (nor did any of my other family members) of the date of his burial this spring. I was very depressed over the whole deal.

I did make contact with my aunts at the viewing and had asked about my uncles (whom my aunts both divorced over the years) who I was close with growing up and both griped about them (as old hens will do about ex husbands).

I've taken to reading the online paper of the town I was from to try to keep in the loop of whom in my family may have passed, who got married, etc...

Today, I read the obits and came across the obit of one of my uncles sisters. It stated in the obit that my uncle had predeceased her. He apparently died sometime this year after my father did. No one ever told me. I did a search and they apparently didn't publish an obit for him. Had I known, I would have attended his funeral. He was one of my favorite uncles regardless of the fact that he divorced my aunt (which I didn't know until my father's funeral)

Am I wrong to be upset? Should they have been obligated to at least give me a call and let me know?

I have only frequented this site for a few months but can not believe some of the stuff I read here.

Examples:

How can I stop my dogs teeth from growing bigger?

How can I stop my arms from growing?

Why do white people complain about politics?

Is it really possible that some people really think they can make their arms stop growing, their dogs teeth stop growing or stop white folks from talking about politics if they only ask the good folks of yahoo answers how?

Seriously?

I'm interested in thoughts and also maybe you could list a stupid question or two that you've read that made you laugh.

Why is it that last night when hornswaggle got hurt fighting everyone (the commentators) was like OMG they kicked the little guy but it was OK for HBK to kick the little girl in the restaurant scene? That was supposed to be funny?

I can't say that I think a little girl getting kicked is funny.

Is it me or is wrestling getting more and more soap-opera like every week?

When someone asks do you like (insert your baby name here) why do people always seem to reply I like (insert totally different name here)?

Example:

Q - I'm thinking of naming my baby Bella Isis does anyone else like that name?

A - I've always like the name Britney Jona blah blah blah

No one asked what names you like, they asked your opinion on a name they like. Why do people bother to respond with something totally inane?

Just wondering because I see that a lot here and it bugs me (I know it's the least of my worries but, hey, I figured I'd ask)
