Last week, my single mother boss was out of town. The second morning I was there, I was getting the three year old dressed and noticed a blister like rash that was located in her
intergluteal cleft. I had not seen it before, she is potty trained, so I called her mother. Her mother asked me to send her a picture. I said I wasn't comfortable with that. She then texted me back kind of nasty saying, "I'm not there, you're telling me she has a strange rash, I need to see a picture, send me a picture." I still wasn't comfortable with that. She texted me again and said, "You are being absurd. I'm 2,000 miles away. I called X, the NP, bring her in at 11:30. I did just that. It turned out it was the necessary call as the child was given oral antibiotics to take for 7 days and it cleared up.
After the doctor visit, I texted hand told her what the NP said, the cause, etc. This was 4 very full and detailed text messages that I took care to type without shorthand, including RX information, dosage, when I would pick up the RX and planned to give first dose. I didn't receive any response, but didn't think that much of it.
My boss was due to come home Thursday. She spoke to her children on the phone per the usual and asked me for updates. Only in retrospect did I realize her tone was cold. She came home Thursday, went to work Friday and I was off for the weekend. On Sunday I received an email from my boss that really upset me.
On Monday morning, I showed up to work, pissed off, but I was polite and she didn't say anything. She was colder than usual. I emailed this back to her Monday morning.
Last night she came home and didn't even greet me. She talked to the girls and not me. I said "Goodnight everyone, see you tomorrow." The girls said good-night. I came in this morning, as always on time. She said, "I'm completely late" and ran out the door. The way she said "I'm completely late" was accusatory. I was there five minutes before the time I am supposed to start.
She hasn't responded to my email.
What did I do wrong? Do I need to just ask her to pay me tonight for the week and be done with this? I know it isn't fair to the girls but she isn't thinking of them. If she was, she'd appreciate the level of care they receive. I am really hurt and angry to be treated like this. I have been here for 7 months!
Help? Advice?
