Conversation

BOSSLADY: So I really need you to find this toy for my daughter's present. I mean, I promised and she really wants it.

ME: It's sold out everywhere.

BOSSLADY: Damn.

ME: I can check eBay.

BOSSLADY: Sure.

ME: Or you could just make this a lesson to her that you don't always get what you want in life.

BOSSLADY: Oh, I have many more years to crush her dreams.

PS it's so weird getting your comments in real time as opposed to a few months ago when you couldn't check the computer during the day!

...Because you had a job.

Oh, this just got awkward.
