my boss and i coincidentally stood in the same line. both waiting to pay for a cup of coffee.
small talk led to a conversation about the status of a high profile project. boss showed complete disinterest in the project conversation, but played along.
boss handed the cashier money and a frequent consumer card. the cashier used a hole punch on the card. boss stepped aside but continued to pretend interest in the project status conversation.
I wondered why boss stood so close and continued to clutch the card. then i realized boss wanted me to scam a hole punch on the frequent consumer card.
me - "oh, hey why don't we get another punch on your card?!"
boss - "oh, great idea! thanks"
cashier gave me the skunk eye and punched the card. boss quickly disappeared, leaving the status conversation unfinished.
i now better understand boss's priorities and concerns. developing my career is somewhere below obtaining a free 8 oz coffee.
i think i will surprise boss with one of them 48 ounce jobs from 7-11 tomorrow. that should put me on the fast track.
