notes from work – the thanksgiving edition!
ok so with tomorrow being thanksgiving, i have like a billion things on my to do list today – i thought i was being smart, and tried to get a bunch of it done before work. which left me running late to the office, as usual.
and of course, strangeness from the moment i get to my desk.
who the heck would leave a frozen turkey sitting on my laptop?!!?
i mean, there’s all kinds of water, ice, condensation, things that are generally BAD FOR COMPUTERS!!! almost everyone here at hearts and laserbeams headquarters is pretty competent, so there’s really only one person it could be–
and JUST as i was thinking that, guess who’s boss comes breezing in.
“HI!!!” she says brightly… too brightly… i couldn’t help thinking to myself what the eff is going on?!
i guess she could read that all over my face, cuz the next thing outta my boss’s mouth was “what’s your problem?” so i ask her what this thing is on my desk.
“mmmm, looks like a frozen turkey, genious,” she says, “you oviously can’t work like this why don’t you go home early?”
“what are you talking about? i just got here,” i tell her.
“whatever, happy thanksgiving, give me a hug and get out of here! but be here before 4am on friday, i’m going to kohls to buy gloves on sale and i want someone in the office just in case.”
so… do i win because i got to go home early, or do i lose cuz i have to be here at 4am friday? i dunno… i’m just thankful my boss isn’t a jerk ALL the time. have a great holiday folks!

Your boss expects you to work on Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year in the U.S.? Yup, she’s a jerk all right.
AHAHAHH seriously! she better hope i don’t get her in the xmas gift exchange!
I gave you a turkey lady, that was your holiday bonus.. what more do you want. You better be at work at 3:30am on friday so I have time to run out and get coffee. You best lose the sass if you ever want to work in this town again.
AHAHAHHAHAHA you’re not the boss of me!!
except you kinda are.
