TALKING. WITH. AN.I.MALS

On my to-do list today at work? Go over to the old store, and while I'm there, talk to Boss' goose. Conversation was very one-sided and awkward. "Hey goose. Hiiiiii goooooseeeeeyyy! So, ya, I was just over at the old store, and Boss asked me to come say hi. So, ya, hi. Boss is up-north for the next two days. So, I guess I'll let you go. Oh, and, ya, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Alright, goose, take it easy." (Goose finally looks at me, and walks away) Later... Boss calls, I ask her how Up North is. She tells me she's home in Scarborough and didn't go Up North. "Shit, Boss. I just lied to the goose." So she asks me to feed him tomorrow. And naturally, I had to say YES! I'm terrified of birds.
