Good Bye Employment
It's probably almost official . . . I'm going to get fired. Work went well, but then at the end, I was talking to my manager and this is how our conversation went:
My Manager: So why do you get ravioli tonight?
Me: Well, my roommate ate my spaghetti sauce, so tonight she's making me ravioli . . . with my sauce still, but it's her ravioli.
My Manager: The roommates that came on Friday?
Me: Yeah, they told me what they said to you. They may have seemed weird but they're really very normal . . . and very nice.
My Manager: They seemed normal to me.
Me: Good! Because they are . . . normal I mean. I'm normal too. But when I talk like this it seems like I'm not, but I am.
My Manager: (laughing)
Me: But even if I'm not it's too late because you already hired me!!
My Manager: (laughing, but still looking at me as if I am a crazy person escaped from an institution)
Me: Well, see ya!!
Do you understand? Do you see why I am going to get fired? I do too. Anyway, you know when I said that Les and I are not winos? Well, I was lying. We are falling into a deep pit of debauchery and alcoholism as I speak. Ha ha!!! I am just joking!! Actually, I'm not. At all. I am totally serious. Or am I? This mystery is too deep to fathom, but try if you dare.
P.S. - Sometimes I need to not say things outloud, but I do. That's the lesson for the day. Remember this little phrase I made up (well, I didn't make it up, but I use it to remind myself that I probably shouldn't always say what's on my mind): "Be quiet!! You're scaring them!!"
