Restraining Order
Get this, I am under the protection of a restraining order and have a body guard with me all day...so you know I work for crazy rich people right? Well the head maintenance guy at their house went off the deep end and threatened to "kill us all if he was laid off". It just so happens that this guy is a Russian and former member of the KGB that is in the US under protection from the KGB and is considered armed, dangerous, and capable of very much. So basically due to a bunch of life events he was under a great amount of stress and for some unknown reason started bragging to the house cleaning staff about killing two guys for $30,000 and some other weird stuff like the "killing us all" comment. So they fired him and he went ballistic so the filed a restraining order against him and we were forced to have our names put on it. We have two body guards at our office all day now - we are supposed to call them as we approach the building and they walk us up to the office and if we leave they are to walk us back down. (Neither of which I do) My boss, must have one of them with her at all times like if she goes to meetings and at her house at night. This has made her very grouchy and quite snappy but I actually understand why - it would get so tiresome. They also have a 24/7 trailer on this guy's butt, so if they are watching him all day, couldn't they warn us if he comes near the office - sorry that was a side comment and besides the point. This is all so annoying and the guards aren't even cute like I hoped they would be and they wear really strong, old man cologne. Oh, and they have guards at my boss kids' schools too. It has made everybody quite edgy and stressed out at work. Does nobody see that this is complete overkill and absolutely insane? I mean this isn't Jason Bourne. So we have all these rules we have to follow about calling 911, what to do if he call us, what we must carry with us at all times (this big stack of papers, his picture, a description of his car, etc.). I'm more worried about breaking one of the silly rules than something actually happening. So this lasts for 15 days (it started on Monday) and then we go back to court to request for the restraining order to be permanent and this other madness will stop if that is the case (they say the key is him accepting the handsome severance package they are offering - guess money can buy just about anything). But until then, this is my life - fun huh? Wish they'd just took all the money this is costing and put it towards my salary this year.

this could really be your chance to be the hero!! but too bad the security guys aren't cute...that might have made it worthwhile :)
Oh my gosh that is sooooo funny. He is Diana, he IS a Russian Jason Bourne. Right now he's lacing through Denver's back alleys and breaking into a bank's security box and emerging from the bank with thousands of dollars...He has a mysterious tatoo...a big Russian lady and it says Olga under it.
I've seen this movie play out a hundred times...
I think you should just arm yourself doe a preemptive strike and go after him this weekend, then you won't have to deal with all the extra security driving everyone nuts next week.
