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.

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.

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