It's been pretty unbearable at work this week, but today it was even worse. I really love my job, but after two hours sweating on the circular saw cutting for the internals for three really complicated cases, I was feeling irritable to say the least.
It was at this point that my boss came up to my bench, with a couple of strange guys in tow, and said 'Lissa, some of the lads are complaining that they are too hot. As your bench is nearer to the door, we're going to get you to swap places with them'
A split second later he said 'Not really. Only joking' then turned to the two strange guys and asked,'Did you see?' to which the guys started laughing and said 'Oh yes!'
It turns out that Tony had been telling them about 'The Look'. The look, apparently, that I give him when he annoys me and which makes him run off and hide in his office for the rest of the day. The one he describes as 'the same look that's in a rattlers eyes the split second before it strikes'
Still don't know whether to be annoyed or amused
