Yeah, she wanted the yellow one that looks like a pistol the cops have. Don't worry we are not helping her or even getting involved

Also concerning her being my boss. .. it turns out that my girlfriend is really good friends with our boss (the Muslim lady I talked about) and she advised her that Ava is not ready to manage another engineer who is almost 10 years her senior. So I was moved out of engineering and am a Senior Project Manager now. They hired Ava 2 junior engineers to do with as she pleases but I was given project management responsibilities over her projects.
There are a lot more things we should avoid than those you mention. I my view, we should keep our mind clear of evil and sin and, therefore, should avoid the following:truly are some behaviors (i.e. drunkeness, promiscuity, over indulgence in food, drug use) that are dangerous, moral argument asside are self destructive and physically/physiologically harmful

Have you ever worked in a small company in the oil and gas field? It's practically an "old boys club" I guess in this case an "old girls club". I remember at my interview the woman who hired me told me "here we like to take a relaxed attitude towards work". I thought she meant we could wear jeans in the office and that it was OK to come in a little late or leave a little early. I had absolutely no idea that this place is practically a summer camp that pays you to attend. I guess this would be considered a paradise for some people but not me. I believe that we are called to work hard and honor God in everything we do, yeah I fall short like everyone else but I desire to strive for that.Delightfully informal HR processes your company seems to have.

I cannot agree more. That's why before I started dating my girlfriend who is very close to my boss, I was the redheaded stepchild. My coworker was for all intents and purposes insane but that was OK. She could do no wrong and I was just a "downer" who was too serious. Despite her eratic behavior she was named engineering manager because the boss liked her. When I started dating my girlfriend the boss promptly moved me out from under my coworker turned engineering manager and made me lead project manager. So I am not going to say I didn't benefit from this situation but I was at one point on the receiving end of the unfairness. This is why I plan to run my department more formally. I will plan to enforce a certain level of work ethic and not allow my department to be an "old boys club".And the downside of that is if someone dislikes you, there's not much procedural fairness.

In this case, he likely won't last long because most companies/bosses value results/performance and the bottomline/profits. The freedom given to her underlings by your co-worker should not be abused.So he pretty much does zero useful work.
I am staying out of her business, I am respecting that she has her department and it is hers to run as she chooses. And with that she is the one responsible for her subordinates. I won't run mind the way she runs hers. I don't think it is correct and I don't think it is fair butit is not my place to get involved.In this case, he likely won't last long because most companies/bosses value results/performance and the bottomline/profits. The freedom given to her underlings by your co-worker should not be abused.

I totally agree, but I do think that much of the responsibility lays with my Co worker and how she chooses to manage. I can only blame that young man for his personal lack of work ethic. But in truth it is not my concern, she has her department to manage and I have mine, if she chooses to allow that type of shoddy work ethic she will be answerable if anything happens. I feel bad for the other engineer, the girl, because she seems to want to work hard and grow as an engineer butfrom what I see she isn't being given the proper guidance or structure.In this case, he likely won't last long because most companies/bosses value results/performance and the bottomline/profits.

.For example today, the girl EIT came to me with a design plan that she said a rig manager needed signed right away. I told her that although I am a PE the proper chain of command is that she needs my Co worker Ava to sign it since she is Engineering manager. We went to her office and found that she was asleep on her couch and her other EIT, the young boy, was there on her computer doing an online defensive driving class for her. He told us that "Missy Ava, was resting" and told him to do her defensive driving course for her and that we cannot disturbe her. He then pushed us out and closed the door.
