Not Sold On Your Enthusiasm

(My manager is not very good because she always tells us to buzz off when we ask her for help. It has been a very busy day with our hotel nearly full, and we’re running around like headless chickens while she’s in the back, tapping happily on her computer.)

Manager: *comes out* “Great news! WE’RE SOLD OUT TODAY!”

Me: *through clenched teeth* “That’s grrrreat.”

Manager: “IT IS! IT IS, THOUGH!”

(She just didn’t get why we looked so unenthusiastic, as she was thrilled. Soon after, she skipped all the way home and left us with all the work. Her boss has since promoted her.)
