Some Bosses Are More Memorable Than Others

(My boss is notorious for not listening and not retaining new information.)

Me: “I’m gonna take my lunch now, okay?”

Boss: “Okay.”

(Five minutes later, I’m in the middle of a sandwich and have my headphones on when my boss approaches.)

Boss: “Can you get me this file?”

Me: “Sure.”

(I hand him the file, but only a few seconds later…)

Boss: “Why are you giving me this?”

Me: “You just asked for it. We’re working on it.”

Boss: “So, take it back.”

Me: “Okay…”

Boss: “So, are you on lunch?”

Me: “Yes. I told you that.”

Boss: “Then why are you working?!”

Me: *frustrated* “Because I love my job, boss! Because I love my job!”

Boss: “Okay, so eat.” *leaves*

Coworker: “That’s going on NotAlwaysWorking.com, isn’t it?”

Me: “Oh yeah.”
