Workplace Ritual
You spent hours:
Getting files in order
Finishing other people's assignments
Cleaning up the office
Getting other things in order
After four straight hours of this you finally head to the break room to get a well-deserved coffee break.
It's when you're sitting there, all slouched down in your chair with coffee cup in hand, that the boss walks on by, stares right at you face-to-face, and exclaims facetiously "My, aren't WE really busy today!".

Blimey that happens with my partner every day. As soon as I sit my arse down in the chair at my computer, guess who appears? It drives me insane.
ReplyDeleteDo you two not share housecleaning and maintenance duties?
DeleteYou make it sound (a little) like you're the one who's expected to do everything.
