It was a beautiful Friday afternoon. I had keys in hand about to leave work early and dodge the traffic, swill down a well overdue beer and head to the beach.
I had finished everything that needed to be done (or so I thought) and was saying my farewells for the week. I saw him out the corner of my eye, the boss, clearly walking my way. I tried to wind up the goodbyes quickly and head for the door but I didn't make it.
The dreaded bonus project was handed to me, nothing unusual except this one needed to completed that day!!! What made it worse was that he had started it decided he wanted to go home early for a beer and weekend at the beach and I was left running around like an idiot on a Friday night doing the bosses work!!!
I feel a little better now though.
