bright future
Today, my boss Rob suddenly called for an impromptu meeting. He came up to me, Kermit & Anthony, and said “Guys… let’s meet up at the meeting room. I’ve got something to talk about.”
Fuck. “Talk my ass” - as usual, that was what I had in mind when he said he wanted to meetup. I reckoned that must be another session of him telling us more about his stupid ideas and probably gonna need us to help him achieve it. “Sadist” is his middle name and he doesn’t give a damn on how people feel about him. Maybe I should lock him up in the meeting room (after he goes in) and burn the whole room down. Yeah, that ought to be cool.
Anyway, after enough fantasizing of committing a homicide, I snapped back into reality in the meeting room. When the team’s all seated, the attention all turned to Rob. He started off with his usual way of acting like a total asshole - asking stupid stuff like what are we doing, how’s everything, etc. Like he cared. I was tempted to give him a kick square on his face and let him tell me how my soles taste like.
Then he finally told us the news - he will be leaving. For a moment there, I was stunned. It was like, striking a lottery, you know, like you just learned of something that’s difficult to believe. I thought I was in a dream! My fucking boss is finally leaving for good! Words cannot describe how fucking liberating it felt to learn that we’re finally free from this asshole’s reign of terror for so many months.
But that was all inside. We (Anthony, Kermit and myself) would continue to keep our cool as if we’re unaffected by the news - but behind the seemingly calm expression, we felt like coming in our pants and was having an internal orgasm (if there is no such thing, then perhaps we discovered it).
Nothing he said after that registered inside my mind - as I had already drifted off somewhere to give a shit what he’s going to have to say. I felt like shouting out “YEAH” loudly and can’t wait to celebrate the good news.
As we were walking back to our office cubes, Anthony asked me this - champagne or beer ? Heheh … Needless to say - it should be both. Shit, this is better than a promotion!
