jcd: I kinda love your analysis. I wonder if the hypothesis was really that no matter who was appointed as manager, I would be annoyed. QED. Jamy is easily annoyed. :)

I hope you dance again and remember that it is very rare that a woman will say "no" to a dance. I'm finding my proximity/body language ask to work for now, so that's what I'll be doing until I muster more courage.

I guess I see; "To Prove: If I appoint X as manager, Jamy will be annoyed. Proof: 1. Appoint X as Manager. 2. Jamy is annoyed. QED." Though that seems more like a hypothesis test, now that I've written it out.

I think wikipedia's right--I've used QED at the end of mathematical proofs. Your boss's use of it--assuming he understands its meaning correctly--implies that this was an expected outcome of appointing her as manager. I agree that makes it odd that he did so.

Glad you're well otherwise.

I had begun to worry about you. I'm glad you are dancing your way through life and not taking work too seriously. Hopefully the new bad manager will move on one day soon.
