Confusion in the Mansion!

It's happening again - the Mister is being nice to me and I have no earthly idea what's going on! We've been through this nonsense before, which normally lasts only two or three days, but this time it's been going on for almost two weeks.

As the butler here I'm accustomed to dealing with rich peoples' oddities and quirks, of course. But this bizarre behavior on his part will eventually drive me crazy.Without question, I'm highly suspicious. Something's definitely up. What does he want?

Sometimes when he's nice it's just to butter me up so I'll serve as a dependable character witness in whatever lawsuit is at hand. But normally that's just a couple of days before the court date, and then over and done with.

Maybe it's because he's suddenly carrying on two affairs at the same time, and simply wants me to accept it without questions and keep my mouth shut. Very possible.

More insidiously, however, I'm suspecting he's trying to make me feel uncomfortable so I'll quit my job voluntarily and not cost him any unemployment-insurance contributions. Very possible, indeed. The old goat really knows how to get under my skin.

We'll see. But this happy mood he seems to be encouraging is certainly no way to approach the dreaded holidays to come - Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, in rapid order. Will let you know how this horrible mess develops. But if this keeps up, I've got to get out of here.

Thanks for stopping by tonight,

Andrew

  3. MR. Williams,
    Is it possible he knows of this site and thats why he wants you to leave?
    Maybe he needs a stretched truth in upcoming divorce proceedings. HA!

    If you work for who I believe..... I doubt the old coot can keep up the niceties when not in the benifit of himself.

    Good luck
    Hope this has found you in the best of spirits.

    1. Hi, A. Hari. Always nice to hear from you. You are correct in thinking my employer's "niceties" are always to his own benefit. I've never found it otherwise.

      Hope all is well with you.
