Ok, yes we all have our own forms of weirdness.  Let me share some info about a situation and just hear your opinion.   I am Buddhist.  I have ONE Buddha statue, at home and 2 small ones in my office. My supervisor who has often been a complete asshole to me, yet has also asked me to be his "work wife" said he had a couple of statues at home that he wanted to give me.  I just opened the bag, and he has sent me like 25 statues, very nice and wrapped like they had just been purchased from a specialty shop.   I'm confused,  he's not even Buddhist.  How do you have that many statues when you're not even Buddhist?????

That is strange but maybe he was given them and wanted to get rid of them or was looking at that religion in the past and got a bunch then. You never know what a person was like before you met them. Sorry to hear that he is an ass whole though.

Probably inherited or given them and he doesn't want them. It's weird you didn't ask him about them.

Perhaps he was in the religious trinket business. This sounds like an act of kindness.

The work wife thing is weird. As for the statues, that's a bit weird too.
Probably need to set boundaries with him.
Good Luck

Deckard, yes, it certianly feels that way, but it's like 50% of the time, he's acting like he hates and despises me, and the other 50% it's like he can't be nice enough, but here's the thing, he's nice to other people far more often, but when it comes to stuff like this, well... he has acted this way (doing weird shit like giving me 25 Buddha Statues) the entire time he has been working here, I'm glad to be leaving this place. When he has shown to much favoritism, it's caused other people who work here to be bitter and two faced with me, I did not ask for it. just like the Buddha statues, I did not ask for those either.

    After work, I am taking a defensive driver course today.  It is online and only cost $10 and it may save me as much as $300 on my car insurance.  I got the information from my car insurance company.  Little known fact about me is that I drive with two feet.

    One day in August many years ago, the strings to our hearts were woven together in a magical and sacred way.They remained tied together though they were taken on a journey fraught with challengingdemons serpents and deep wounds.But still, they stayed tied together.They were torn apart and like a wound that leaves a scarthey cannot heal.  They are broken.   Ripped, callously slashed.The heart...
