My poor boss is still trying to get himself laid off, and they still can’t decide on a date to do it. He’s going to be out of town for a week at the end of April, so he communicated this to Sideshow Bob (he had been thinking he’d already officially be gone by then and it would be a non-issue)
He assured Bob that I could handle the closing. Bob is concerned that “I don’t like him very much.” Which, yes, is true, but this is also the same man that introduced himself to me with “Hi, I’m Bob and I hate contractors.” He’s lucky that at *I* can get the job done, regardless of how I feel about a client - which sounds like it’s a problem for him. My boss finds it hilarious that Bob is apparently intimidated by me.
And you know what? He should be.
