Pressure Is … A New Boss
Wow, sometimes the pressure of my job is almost more than any reasonable person can stand. And I’m feeling it now, because I just got a new boss.
I’m kinda like Michael Scott in this way, and many other ways. For example, I’m incredibly funny. And all of my employees really, really love me. And I just got a new boss. Unlike Michael Scott, I don’t have any plans to leave the company.
But I did stress out about this, in seriousness. I mean, I’m so much like Michael Scott, probably my new boss would be just like Michael Scott’s new boss is, which is to say, a hardcore, emotionless freak. Would he dislike me? I mean, it is unthinkable – but who could dislike Michael Scott? His new boss!
So I was totally freaking out by the time I got to work today, the day my new boss started work. Oddly, my new boss isn’t much like Michael Scott’s. In fact, he seems pretty cool. He didn’t even get mad at me for coming to work late today.
No, what created the pressure was that Zach told Chris, my new boss, that he should read my blog. Because, he said, it’s funny.
OHNO!!!
I have to think of something funny! Something funny to put in my blog! Today! Under pressure! Zach told Chris my blog is funny! If I don’t type something funny, then he won’t know how funny I am!
Lame. Zach, that was lame of you to put me in that situation, especially since you don’t have a blog of any consequence. I mean, I’ve talked about my other boss, Luis, who wasn’t exactly my boss but is still my VP, on this blog. He doesn’t actually know about my blog though so he never reads it. But now surely Chris will read my blog since Zach told him it is so funny. However, to be clear, I do not blame Chris, my new boss and the person in charge of my employment and livelihood, for this situation at all. Not at all! Chris is the smartest, hippest, coolest person I know on the face of the earth, with the possible exception of Luis, in case he reads this blog also! And highly respected! And smart! Did I say smart?
Anyway, there’s nothing I can do about it now. I have to think of something funny to write about.
Ah. I have it. I will tell the story about the funniest movie I ever saw, in college. It deserves its own post.
