What To Say When You Want To Escape From Your Boss...

A few days ago, I had a talk with Msa, a colleague who loved teasing the bosses. Hearing her stories really made my day. Below are excerpts of her naughty actions.

#1. I'll take the days off when we're getting married

(Situation: Cool Boss 1 asked the journos when they would like to have days off)

Cool Boss 1: Hey Msa, when would you like to take days off this week?

Msa: Can I have Saturday and Sunday?

Cool Boss 1: How about Sunday and Monday? I need more people on Saturday

Msa: Okay.

Cool Boss 1: Hey Msa, you still have two more days off from the last few weeks. When will you take those?

Msa: I think I'll take those when we're getting married, which is still a long way to go, right?

Cool Boss 1: (rolling his eyes) Yeah, right.

#2. It's too bad you're not in the market

(Situation: Cool Boss 2 saw Msa reading news on Obama and gay marriage. He tapped her shoulder)

Cool Boss 2: You must be very happy with the news. So when is the D-day? (He's joking actually)

Msa: Well, the news does not affect anything since I like men. It's too bad that you're no longer in the market. Otherwise, I would have snatched you on the first place.

Cool Boss 2: (speechless and went back to his desk)

#3. You're telling me that I'm wrong?!

(Situation: Cool Boss 2 was checking Msa's article)

Cool Boss 2 : What do you mean with blablabla?

Msa: I meant to say bliblibli.

Cool Boss 2 : You shouldn't say blablabla. It caused confusion. Just use bliblibli.

Msa: What? So you're telling me that I'm wrong? (raising her tone a few notes higher)

Cool Boss 2: Um, I'm just saying that you should use bliblibli next time

Msa: Okay. Is that all? Anything else?

Cool Boss 2: Who's the editor here? (walking back to his desk in despair)

P.S. I used to tease them too :P
