Fielded about two hundred impossible questions from my supervisor. We were paired side-by-side, today. He was asking me, in the most round-about way I can even imagine, if I knew anything about autism.
Apparently he does know a bit and the fact that he has an autistic niece was volunteered in the day's conversation.
WTF do I do with this? Is he prying? Is he trying to corner me? Is he diagnosing me? Is he asking for help from someone who he deems as wise? (He's about my age) Is he leading me somewhere? Should I worry? Should I be more honest?
I remained stoic, non-plussed, unconcerned, aloof, disinterested, detached, cold and passive but in retrospect and possibly in error, I responded in a somewhat encyclopedic manner to his questions, which seemed to impressed him beyond reason. (I FUCKING BLEW IT!!)
I think I'm busted.
WTF do I do with this?
Does he like you? If he does I don't think it will go anyplace bad
Yes, he seems to like me, but he is a pawn, only separated from me in the hierarchy by a title that gets thrown around like in a game of "pin the duty on the first dope that speaks" or something.
I don't really know him well enough to say for sure.
Does he know about your children?
He could have been asking you just because he thought that you would know something about autism, not necessarily because he thought that you were autistic yourself.
Thank you for helping me to address my paranoia.
As far as I know he could not possibly know anything about my children. He is the third one to have that job position since I started to work there. He is new to me.
He's also a retired army doctor and he bugs the shit out of me, in more ways than I could explain.
He seems to be be a decent sort, though a little soft for an army guy.
