Conversations with Boss, II

Boss: what is with your obsession with the word shenanigans!! Me: (if only you knew...)

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.

Potty conversations?

Random telephone convo with my boss today at work. Me: Reitmans, Smart Centre, Veronica speaking. Boss: It's me. Me: Oh hey. Boss: You got a minute? Me: Yep. What's up. Boss: Can you go to the bathroom. Me: Sure (thinking...uhhh...???) (Walk to bathroom with cordless phone. Awkward silence ..... Finally...) Me: Uh. Can I ask why you need me to go to the bathroom? Boss: (laughs) I need to to tell me what's on the health and safety board
