I had the following conversation with my boss this afternoon.
B: Can you take this check to the bank?
C: Sure. Would you like me to take it today? (It was 3:30pm)
B: No, it doesn't have to be today.
Boss thinks for a few moments...
B: Sure, if you can go today that would be great.
C: I don't mind. I would be happy to take it over this afternoon.
B: (He gives me an odd look) That would be great. Thanks!
I was all excited for my little afternoon outing. I gathered my coat and phone and practically skipped out of the office. I immediately called one of my friends as I entered the elevator to utilize my "free" time and as I got to the front door I saw that it was furiously raining outside.
Dun..Dun...Dun...
Damn...my boss bested me. I thought I was getting a much needed reprieve from my desk and he used my enthusiasm against me. *&$$**& I knew I couldn't let a little (Ok...a lot) of rain prevent my afternoon break so I got my umbrella and started out again sans the skipping.
Score 1 for the boss and score 1 for me!
