let me tell you about my boss
she's the kind of lady that makes you want to cringe so that you're about the height of your shoes. Not that she's particularly scathing or dismissive. she's...a normal boss. but she's got this really stern face complete with all the frown lines set in the right places so that even when she's laughing (which is rare) she'll make it look forced. and to frail-hearted souls like me, she's the scariest person i've ever met. every time i call to say i can't come to work, my knees are knocking, i'm stuttering, my voice is shaking, general scariness complete with the big round deer caught in headlights eyes. all because i can't make it to work one day. i guess it's good in the sense that if i get it in my head to call in sick (which i only did once) i'll rethink crossing her you-exasperating-gnat tone of voice. in short: i'm very very scared of my boss.
and then there's this other guy that works here that asked one day if i was hawaiian. do i look very hawaiian to you? i'd like to be in hawaii....mmm....
