Unfiltered Story #56626

(I’m the assistant manager of a lawyers office, and whilst I get everything done, I’m really laid back and insist on being left alone. When the manager quits, his replacement isn’t fully aware of my way of working)

Manager: Where is *my name*?

My assistant: Umm, I do believe hes asleep in his office

Manager: ASLEEP?! HE HAS AN IMPORTANT MEETING WITH *very important client* IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!

Assistant: Yes, he knows. Dont worry, everything will be fine

Manager: FINE?! WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT MEETING AND HE’S ASLEEP!

(The manager blasts into my office)

Manager: *My name*! WHERE ARE YOU?!

Me: Under my desk! Go away!

Manager: MY OFFICE! TWO MINUTES!

(I’m in her office in one minute)

Manager: WHY WERE YOU ASLEEP? DONT YOU KNOW WE HAVE A MEETING IN TEN MINUTES?!

Me: Yes. Everythings under control

(She spends the next ten minutes quizzing me on the meeting, which makes us late. Then, because she was so concerned about my being asleep and not prepared, she wasnt prepared herself. After the meeting ends)

Me: Next time, just worry about yourself and leave me alone
