The Company had a production deal with Studio X. Their social events were the best in the town. Since we had a deal with them, they decided to have a "mixer" so that the two companies could get to know each other better. It was meant for executives only. Fine by me. But the assistant to the President of Studio X had become a friend of mine. This assistant told me that she had been invited to go to the mixer (along with some of the other Studio X assistants who assisted top brass) and that she had gotten her boss's ok that I could come.
"No," Asshole Midget says to me. "Executives only."
"I know, but some Studio X assistants are going and I was invited."
"And you are not going."
Asshole Midget was adamant that he did not think any Company assistants had the right to go. Even though I had been invited, I was too worn out to argue about it.
The next morning Asshole Midget recalled how much fun the mixer was. And I realized that the assistants to Laid Back Partner and The One in the Closet were both at the mixer and partying with Asshole Midget. I asked those assistants if they had been invited. They had. Their bosses realized how important it was to their assistants' future to meet the executives at Studio X. Since they were invited...they should go.
I was a little angry with Asshole Midget. How come he never looked out for me like that? I phrased it a little nicer to him, however. "I wish you had let me go." He was furious that I even brought it up. "You didn't belong there." ...Score one for Boss; self esteem loses a point.
