Yes Sir! Immediately! I'll take care of that, Sir!


The Man

He had something major go wrong at work in a major project that was already taking all of his time and energies. So I have just spent the better part of today kowtowing to the Mr.

I've spent the day listening to lectures on how he doesnt ask for much but is it too much to ask for a hairbrush to be in a known spot and the kids shouldnt be bickering so much and if our eldest doesnt get a B in Calculus this fall we should cut his college funding (yes, this is what he said.) I've tiptoed around him and served him in an effort to placate him. I've heard every one of my sentences - from does he know where something is to here is a sandwich for his lunch - answered with the statement that he is too busy with work to care.

He pulled the same old job card - that it would serve us all right because we are making noise and he is going to lose his job. He even threatened to leave for a job in San Diego that he knows he can get. I told him with all sincerity that he probably should.


How sweet it would be!
