my manager: “you’ve crossed the line this time. i’m going to speak to hr.”
me: not sure what he thinks I’ve finished, but I’ll take that as a positive. perhaps he’s going to recommend me for a raise.

we have a blog. apparently.
for some reason, my manager didn’t like my last post, so I’ve been told I have to try again.

and think like you would.
