I'm not proud of the fact that I used to be chronically tardy at work. I always put in my full eight hours; I just had trouble arriving on time. One day, when I managed to show up right on time, my boss looked at me, then at the clock, then back at me, and said: "What's the matter? Couldn't you sleep?"
This could earn you a few bucks from Reader's Digest. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteWish I'd thought of that, Hilary!
ReplyDeleteI had one boss that 2 minutes late was late. As a college student it was hard to comprehend, but in later years I drank a few cups of coffeee always coming in early to work.I think I could still hear his rant.Very funny share.
ReplyDeleteOut on the prairie-Two minutes late IS late; and, as I said, I'm not proud of those chronically tardy days. But I still smile when I remember that boss' comment. He was a funny guy, although I didn't always appreciate it at the time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll share more stories about him. He was realllly funny, even when he didn't mean to be! (But this is my FAVORITE story about him.) :)
ReplyDeleteSandra-This was one of my favorite memories of John, too. I'll see if I can come up with any other blog-worthy stories.
ReplyDeleteI'd have come back with something like: "Only in your meetings"
ReplyDeleteNick-That's a good one. I have lots of clever comments, but never when I need one.
