Never tell on your boss that is having sex at work during work hours

Lesson learned.

Last week, the office manager was IMing a fellow coworker saying that she was going to put me being five minutes late to work that day on my performance review so that my VP would see it and ding my bonus. She accidentally sent that message to me. Feeling like I had been treated unfairly, I became infuriated and told my VP about the office manager's promiscuous affairs during work hours in our office with employees and contractors. I even had the office manager's conversations about the affairs saved on my computer. All my VP could say is "Oh my God.... Oh my God... Oh my God" as she read through the incriminating conversations that I showed her.

And yet, the office manager sits at the same desk a week later sniffling and saying that she is going to talk to me so she won't lose her job but doesn't really want to say anything to me. She says that her whole world has been turned upside down because I told my VP. (She says with her eyes that I have made her a victim and she hates me.)

And again, I feel the oh-so-comfortable feeling of guilt, depression, and self-hatred.

Spray a small iron skillet with cooking spray. Place 7 frozen rolls in the skillet, leaving plenty of room for rising.
Cover and allow to rise for several hours. (Mine took 4 hours to fully rise)

Combine herbs and mix with melted butter.
Brush rolls with half of the melted butter and herbs.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, or until rolls are a deep golden brown on top.
