A true story:
(Phone buzzes, and I pick it up.)
Boss Text: So, you’re not here. Are you taking today off?
My text: Yes. Everyone is.
Boss Text: Why?
My Text: B/c it’s Vet’s Day.
Boss Text: No isn’t.
My Text: Yes. Is.
Boss Text: That was yesterday.
My Text: Observe on following Mon = Today.
Boss Text: We who? The Co.?
My Text: The Nation.
Boss Text: But not Co.
My Text: Yes. Us too. Look on sched. Been posted over three weeks. And in email. And reminders on Fri for Mon alerts. See where it says “Holiday” in everyone’s boxes?
Boss Text: Thought meant day off for non-staff.
My Text: That’s not even a thing we do. “Holiday” is self explanatory.
Boss Text: I didn’t know.
My Text: Am not coming in.
Boss Text: You can take day off.
My Text: I know. It’s a Holiday.
Boss Text: Well, am not gonna argue it. Just want know where everyone was. I guess see you tomorrow.
(No response.)
Boss Text: You will be in, right?
***
… Just your average Monday of shit I have to deal with, even on a Monday when I’m not supposed to have to deal with it.
So thank you again, Boss…for continuing to provide constant idiocy in all you do.
In Other News: A little nesting and clean. Spanish rice-making, friend IM-ing and script reviewing. Walk to the market for incidentals, some coffee, some laundry sorting, some Ma hanging. A good day. As days go.
…Back to the mindless drivel tomorrow.
