Ok, the tittle was in jest. I’m not going to get fired. But still, what the hell was my friend and I thinking? At work we have this conference room where all the upper management folk have there daily meetings. In order for me and my friend to leave the building we have to pass by this conference room. The problem is that the wall that separates us from them is: The bottom half of the wall is just a wall but the top half is all glass. So it is not at all uncommon for the managers to waive you in there to talk about this or that. So it’s the end of our shift. My friend and I just want to go home but we are afraid to leave because we KNOW that the managers are going to waive us in there. We are intent on trying to avoid them because they want to talk to us about this project we’ve been working on. A project that is taking longer than we told them it would take. So we want to avoid them at least until we finish the project. So my friend and I are standing at the threshold. If we take one step further, management will see us and tell us to come in: Me: “What are we gonna do man?” Friend: “Lets just run by there and act like we don’t see them if they call us in.” Me: “Are you crazy? That’s a safety violation.” Friend: “Well, we’re just gonna have to talk to them then.” Me: “Let’s just get on our hands and knees and crawl past. They wont see us then” Friend: “Are you serious?” Me: “Yeah lets do it.” So both of us giddy like a couple of school boys, get on our hand and knees and start to crawl past the CR. Half way out we run in to of all people, the Main Guy. AS in the head of all the upper management team. We stopped dead in our tracks. Frightened like a couple of deer in the head lights. Boss: “What the heck are you guys doing?” Me: I’m too shocked to make any words come out of my mouth. Friend: “We just want to go home man.” Boss: “And I take it that they (The managers) want you in there?” Both: “Um, yeah.” Boss: [laughs] “Alright, go on, I’ll cover for ya.” We both breathe a sigh of reliefe and head on out. Boss: “AND GET OFF YOUR HANDS AND KNEES FCOL!” ---

Let that be a lesson to you. Keep a wig and makeup stashed in a drawer so you can disguise yourselves as women when you want to get out unnoticed. 😉 ---

I appears that your boss has waved his right to firf you for your fcolish attempt to avoid being waived at. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yeah-im-gonna-get-firfed-from-work/609429.md?page=2)
