Bad Energy

Troy Brooks

Every Wednesday, my boss works from home. It's usually the worst day of the week for me, because she interferes with everything. I will have plans to have sandwiches for lunch outside and then she will pop up and say, "I think I'll take (daughter) to the deli with me". It's only one day so I can work with it. She generally seems to appreciate me, and never complains about anything or corrects anything I do.

I did meet this nanny with a boy the same age, within days of (charge). She happened to be over two Wednesdays in a row and the Mom said something the first time, like "Ew, who does she work for". I ignored it, because she makes comments like that and it makes me feel like a head above most nannies.

This time after she left, my boss called me in to talk to her. She told me that this nanny has a very bad energy and she would prefer if I didn't bring my charge around her. I'm the nanny. I happened to actually like that nanny but whatevs. How do I tell her? We have plans to meet at the bookstore Monday and go to the park after? Just honest? Or will that cause more problems? Just blow her off?

PS My boss also ordered a chair from an estate buying place online. It was very unique, green with a plush print. She had her decorator come and take it away because of the bad energy.
