When I turned my computer on at work, an email downloaded from my boss that read:

Jay, I have an appointment this morning at 8:30A and another at 12:30P and another at 2:30P out of the office. It is time for your annual review. I would like for us to do that this afternoon about 4P. Actually, 4:30P. I have a call I need to make at 4P. Thanks.

In any relationship, the person with the least amount of interest has the most power, so I wasn't surprised to hear criticism about my passive-aggressive communication and general lack of heart.

“You can't fit a square peg into a round hole,” my boss said.
“You can if the hole's diameter is greater than the diagonal of the square,” I told him.
“Look," he said. "Let's just call a spade a spade. You don't want to work here. And if your next year is like the last year, then I'm not interested. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans.”

So there you have it. If you see an ad reading Architecture Firm Seeks Hill of Beans to Manage Office, that job used to be mine. As for my next move, I've got a couple of prospects. But after I'm done petting the dog and cuddling my wife, I should probably look for a job.
