Not yet..

Yesterday morning I'm at my desk trying to earn a living when I get an IM from my boss E. He's young and pretty cool so when he ribs me about some faux pas I'd made the night before at a company dinner I replied with the following:

"Har fucking har"

Harmless enough, right? The conversation quickly ended and I proceeded with my day. fine. good.

That's my version of events. Now let's turn the clock back and sample them from my boss's perspective.

~~doodly-doo, doodly-doo~~

[addressing a room full of Directors and Managers]
"Now I'd like to introduce one of our newest technologies here at ----. Hopefully by the end of the year we will have rolled out our new Instant Messaging System to the entire company. Let's login here...
[doodles with computer]

Ok, and as you can see, the buddy list shows us who is available to chat. Ah, I see [el Jefe]'s in, let's have a chat with him.

[makes cute joke on IM and promptly receives profane reply]

Uhhhmm...

-silence-

Ok. Well that's enough of that...
[stabs at computer with wild gestures]


Luckily for me, my buddy JF was there and apparently started laughing which caused the rest of the room to join in. In retrospect E thought it was funny. My boss's boss assured me that I wasn't fired, yet. All in all another good day.

least they haven't seen the blog
