A quick slice of my day
« on: August 07, 2007, 08:17:42 PM »
My boss' name is Glen.

Me:  Hey boss-

Glen: No.

Me: What?  No, when I-

Glen:  Drink.  Heavily.  That's how you get your sanity back!

This has been a quick slice of my day.

That was pretty much the whole thing.  No build up, no preceding conversation, nothing.  I tried to ask him a question and that's how it went down.

Man, I wish my boss was like that.. Mine's as dull as a watching dry paint dry slightly more, and as authoritarian as sledge hammer.

Him: So, whats popcorn made out of?

Me:  Uhh...?  corn..

Him: So it's a vegetable?

Me: yeah...

Him: How do they make it?

Me: You know the corn cobs you see around thanksgiving all dried out ? heat that up.

Him: Oh... so it's a bread then?

Boss: Hey I need you to come in at eight tomorrow.
Me: Okay, why?
Boss: People are coming back from summer and you need to help them get checked back in.
Me: Okay cool.

Tomorrow

Boss: Hey come over to central (our equivalent of corporate).
Me: But I thought I was here in case people came back.
Boss: No one's coming back.
Me: Then why am I here?
Boss: I'm here, wanna whine about it?
Me: Just following orders.
Boss: Fine don't come in tomorrow.

The Next Day

Boss: Why aren't you here?
Me: *places gun in mouth*

Sometimes the only thing we can control is where our brain splatter lands.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Boss: Lets do A.
Us: But if we do A, B will occur.
Boss: I don't care. Do A.

Later...
Boss: OMG! B HAS HAPPENED!
Us: =rolleyes=

Your boss is clearly a well-versed absurdist playwright.  I like him.
