Sometimes I get tired of playing nice. And I really just want to say the first thing that comes to mind. Now, most of you know I do this often with my friends. In fact, the other day I was described by a really good friend as "blunt", but I can't be the same way at work. I wonder what my coaches would say if I just told them exactly what I was thinking.
Coach: Did you get my email?
Me: Yes, clearly I'm ignoring you. That's why I'm taking the emergency stairs to the parking lot.
Coach: Did my email make sense?
Me: No. Because that's actually completely impossible. Try again.
Coach: Do you know what this charge is on my credit card?
Me: Well, no, that's what makes it your credit card and not mine. You swipe yours, I swipe mine. Weird how that works.
Coach: You didn't call me back.
Me: You didn't leave a voicemail. My desk phone doesn't quite work like my cell phone. I don't return missed calls.
Coach: Do you want me to come explain my email to you?
Me: No. Just write an email that makes some damn sense.
Very funny!
