So, after the Friday I had at work, I had decided to lay low this morning with Boss.  He’s just been so cranky lately, and nothing I do seems to rest well with him, so I barely spoke to him.  Now, as I counseled someone this weekend, you can function as an adult with someone even if you don’t like them.  But you don’t have to be buddy-buddy with them.  I kept my head down, my answers curt, and basically did my job without any of my zeal.  He noticed.  Quickly.  And he’s not the mushy emotional type (being the engineer), so he decided to break the ice by talking my language.. technology and gadgets.

Boss: Sarah, I hate this new toy they gave me.

Me: A Blackberry?  They’re top of the line; everyone wants one.  You must just be THAT important..

Boss: But it’s just not cool.  I don’t like it as a cell phone.

Me:  Ahhahahaha, you look like such a dork!

Boss:  I KNOW!  I feel like I’m talking into a calculator. (as William Shatner, and a damn good impression, too) Beam me up, Scottie!

Me: I can get you an earpiece and microphone so you don’t feel so dorky.

Boss:  But it’s gotta be a COOL one.

Me: Like Britney Spears?

And then, OHMYGOD, he danced.  His hips moved.  I’m not saying it was dead-on Britney Spears, but it was the most life I’ve seen out of him in ages.  And I feel better.

It’s a good day today.  I got up plenty early, I slept on clean sheets last night, I’m wearing clean and ironed clothes today.. only an ending of the rain would make it better.  But we’ve been so dry lately that I know we need it.  A little fall of rain.. will make the flowers grow. (Your obligatory Les Mis reference is done for today.. cross it off your list.)
