A unfortunate event occurred today. My boss pulled into the parking lot just as I was leaving for the day. I had already clocked out, I had plans to meet a good friend for the evening (after she's abandoned me for TWO WEEKS), and I was not in the mood to deal with him.
So, when he came up to me and said, "Hey, did anything interesting happen today?", rather than giving him my standard and patient, "No", I replied, "A penguin ran through the office a bit ago." I accompanied it with a big old smile and a sashay as I meandered along to my car.
I blame it on the fact that I was technically off work, and Adeline was out and about.
Do you think he'll accept it if I plead "the voices in my head took over" in the morning?
Nah, neither do I. :)

A little bit of everything: from rants about all subjects, to random quotes from my life, to excerpts from my book(s?), to visits from my many characters. Welcome to my life and my insanity. Pull up a chair and enjoy yourself.
About Me
- Name: Daphne Turner
- Location: Illinois, United States
Since the "Harvard of the Midweset" gave me my release papers, I have been callously thrust into the real world. Never one to tolerate reality for longer than necessary, I retreated into my own world and (finally) wrote a novel. I'm hoping there will be more, but who knows? After all, my dream position, Dictator of Newfoundland, could magically open up, and I'll have to move on to other things. Until then, join me here for mischief, mayhem, and magic.

ROFL!! That's a hoot. Hopefully he has a good sense of humour, I think it was the perfect answer. Better then a standard boring old response.
Well, he has a sense of humor ... it's just very, very different from mine. Still, what's the worst he could do? Fire me? Bah. :)
