I try…

I try...

I try to not make fun of my boss. I try really hard. But sometimes it is so easy that even I cannot resist. I have a friend here who used to work with my boss on several meeting agenda items. Every once in awhile she would BCC me on the conversations that were going on. It was pretty funny as you could tell my boss just wanted someone to do the work for her and my friend was not about to back down and do it. At times my boss would be asking for instructions on something, never noticing that the instructions were attached to the very email she was replying to. My friend, patient as a saint, would politely email the instructions back to her again and explain again. Then, of course, she would email me about the fact that my boss didn't read. Hehehe.

The weather has been bad here. It snowed on Thursday down south. One of my co-workers lives down south and decided not to come in. She sent this email:

Subject: Well, that was sure fun!
I left the house at 5:45 thinking that I might catch the first train in so I could catch the first train out (I was worried about the snow reports). What normally takes me 20 minutes, took me almost an hour because traffic was going between 5-10 miles an hour. I had new tires, so had no idea, really, how icy the roads were. I missed the first train and second train, but thought since I got that far, I wasn't turning back. That was until I stepped out of my car at the train station. My foot slipped out from under me and I landed on my butt!

I decided right then and there that I was NOT going to try that again and headed back home. So, I've been on the road for almost two hours and have nothing to show for it (except a sore derriere!) wink

This email prompted a bunch of secondary emails to both my co-worker and my boss. At the end of the day I got this message from my boss:

Subject: Well, that was sure fun!
Cool.
I didn't get the "Well that was sure fun" part. ???

I worry... I really worry...

I just got off the phone with Rick who called to make sure I had some cheer in my day. He was telling me a story about this woman he tried to help drive up the very icy road this weekend. Then he said, "I think she dropped down the dumb tree and broke every branch..."

HAHAHAHAHA
Thanks Rick smile
