What You Don't Want To Hear Your Boss Say

him: you look like you're suffering in our monday morning staff meetings
me: are you kidding?
him: you look tortured.
me: are you serious?
him: yes.
me. no way.
him: yes.

once again, i was reminded that perception is reality. in that, no matter if you think you're paying rapt attention and interested in what everyone else is discussing, you are perceived as looking like you are being shipped off to prison.

so the adorable one has suggested i wear a smiling richard nixon mask to future meetings. no one would get the humor of the situation, but i think it's brilliant. and at least i wouldn't look like i'm suffering even with tricky dick on my face.
