Here's me : Wha?
The Silent Koala is an office-bound marsupial who for sins of a former life is condemned to a lifetime of drudgery in the shipping industry. The following is unfortunately entirely true and accurate, only the names have been changed.
I'm very glad you are back. You brighten up my mornings! :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. With my boss, the signal is the word "So..." followed by 8 or 9 seconds of silence. It makes me go completely rigid and clench my jaw.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how my mentalist ex 'boss' used to start. She would either preface an inane comment with "So...", or we would get "Ummm....". In the 3 second hiatus following this, I could pick up a 25lb chair with my clenched arse cheeks. She wasn't just mental, but evil personified - glad to say I got out of there. You have my sympathy - but do remember, there's a door you can walk through!
