Bosses!
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

Sounds like he's getting used to it, seeing as he's brave enough to discuss it with his "support group".

The two guys were customers. They had spotted me at the far end of the factory, and had voiced surprise that such a tiny, delicate little flower would be working in such a rough environment Tony apparently then choked on his tea and remarked 'Delicate? Lissa? She's a Rottweiler in Chihauhau's clothing' Actually, now I'm getting confused. And I a snake, or a dog? And be VERY careful how you answer THAT one!

Love it!
We girlies need 'The Look' to keep our men towing the line! Glad you could smile where he couldn't see you, you don't want him to think that you're getting soft. You Go Girl! |
