Bosses

At work today, my boss and I scouted new locations for a franchise in rural Michigan. We needed somewhere crowded enough to support more fast food chains. We saw two people the whole day. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, we celebrated the third anniversary of the restaurant's opening. It's admittedly a pretty impressive thing. Guess how we celebrated? We left five minutes early. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I started wedging a pillow between my chair an my back for support. At 3:15, my boss tugged it out from under me. "Put your back into it!" he shouted and laughed. He didn't return the pillow. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was really behind on counting my store's money. My General Manager kept coming in to to tell me that it was unacceptable that I was taking so long. When I finally got done and he needed to verify everything, he held up the money and asked me "How do I count this?" I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I had to install a printer on my boss's computer. He's the director of IT and he can't even install his own printer. Yup. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I got in a fight with my hubby over the phone. He kept calling and calling at my work number. I finally answered the phone and hollered a string of the worst swears I know. The line was silent. "Hi," a voice said. "This is your boss." I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss was all in a flurry about a VIP breakfast at 8AM. He told me to make a fruit tray for about 20 people. I made it and wrapped it up. Hours later I go into the cooler and it's still there. I ask him why. He said he forgot it. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, the principal at our school told us that we needed to enforce the dress code with our students. In my opinion, he needs his own help. Sir, flip flops aren't hallway appropriate. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I had to explain the basics about Twitter, Facebook, and even instant messaging while at work. I explained them to my boss. And he's the head of new media efforts. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I thought there was an earthquake in the building (I live in Southern California). I rushed to the stairwell to see what happened. It turned out my boss was just stomping his foot, trying to get on his shoe. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was a little naughty. I submitted a picture of my boss to that site HotorNot. Com. We were curious, what can I say. In the pic, he's wearing his police uniform. It was even an oldish picture, but it didn't go well. His current rating is a 2.1. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, the IT manager had me reset my computer's IP address. Well, I don't know what that is. But I think I did it. And, apparently, I also brought down the entire corporate intranet. I'm dumbemployed.
