Oh, the naivete'

Ok, so I'm not exactly keeping up with this. Poor Amanda hasn't had anything to read for DAYS!!! :) Here's what's happening: There's this guy that Jim and I work with, I won't mention his name. He, unfortunately, knows Jim from before. Apparently, Jim dated his soon-to-be-ex-wife. Well, the guy is a real creep. He sat next to me night before last and was feeding me all of these lies about things that Jim had done. Of course, once the seed is planted, it's hard to squelch the doubt. So, upon my arrival at home the next morning, I immediately talked to Jim about what the guy had said. I was reassured that my Jimmy would never behave in such a manner, intoxicated or no. He told me that he had known that something like this would happen sooner or later, and that he had warned our boss about it. Oh, btw, the guy also THREATENED Jim, saying that the two of them would probably engage in "fisticuffs" sooner or later, and that he wasn't afraid of going back to jail for it. When I told Jim what he'd said, he went straight for the phone and called our boss, to ask her to fire the guy. I guess she'd told Jim when she hired the guy that if we had any problems with him, she'd let him go. Well, she said she'd talk with him. However, I heard today that she was too creeped out to talk to him. Bells! Whistles! Lights! Sirens! If you can't even talk to someone, you surely shouldn't keep them as an employee, don't you think? Oh, and it gets better: LAST night, he sat next to one of the other girls, and now SHE'S complaining about him too. She said that he was asking her questions, and he got way too personal. I'm supposed to ask our boss to call her in the a.m. I hope he is asked to leave as a result. It would put us in a little bit of a bind as far as HR goes, but in the long run, we're better off without him. He sat at my computer during the day today...ugh. Makes me want to go get a Lysol wipe. Maybe I will.....
