My boss quit today

I liked and respected the man and he up and quits. :frowning: But it means I didn’t have to lose my office to the new VP :), but it would’ve been nice if he told me he was quitting before I got half moved. :mad:

I long ago lost track of all the former co-workers I have from thirty-some years in the workforce (where’s the old fart smiley?) and I have plenty of other bosses :confused: so I recovered quickly :smiley: and was making a suggestion for his replacement :rolleyes: (not me :stuck_out_tongue: ) to the hot HR lady :cool: but got distracted because she was cleaning out his desk and kept bending over and giving me a lovely view down her blouse. :eek:

Yeah, I’m one evil :wally.

Perhaps he simply got tired of all your smileys?

My boss quit one day. Not because of me. But because of her boss. Who became my boss afterwards. Which is when I quit too.

If it weren’t for the fact that we were running a skeleton staff I’d love it if my boss quit.
But then again I’d love it if I won the lottery.

I’ll have you know, young sir or madam, that this selfsame boss once upbraided me for insufficient cheerfulness. Smilies would’ve made him happy.

[shudder] Yeah, that might do it for me, too. Which is why I have taken the initiative and suggested a replacement I could comfortably work for except for his dead-on impression of Gary Cole in Office Space.

Which traumatizes me since I really have worked for people like that Lumbergh guy.

Well isn’t that ironic?

where’s the cool jew smiley?

Our only current Jewish guy isn’t in our department. It’s an odd feeling, having come here from a company in Skokie, IL, a largely Jewish town. And no Muslims, either. I have so many fewer holidays to keep track of. I am thankful we hired a Brit and a Scot, though. That adds to the variety of holidays. “Did you have a nice Boxing day?” “Happy Hogmanay!”
