Scary Boss Woes Continue

The big chief encountered me at a university meeting today, where I was planning to take some notes and stay a little while -- part of my job, long story.

Boss assumed I was there simply to take a few Public Relations pictures and be on my way.

Therefore, scarcely had I put a cookie on my plate, at the invitation of the event sponsors, when the boss clamped a hand on my shoulder.

"You're not here to eat. You're here to work," he said under his breath.

Sulfur stinking breath of Satan, who does this guy think he is, Lord Chesterfield? And am I his stable boy, not fit to eat a scone with the royalty?

Later he told us all at some other meeting: "The world is very cruel to those who aren't prepared."

Yes, boss, I'm aware of that. But thanks for the reminder.

I'm sorry I haven't visited or commented on many blogs tonight. Just trying to keep my head above water.
