As If My Work Life Was Not Stressful Enough

[loracs]

I'm leaving my boss's office, heading for the coffee house next door, he follows me out and asks if I can give him a ride to the main office.
Usually he would walk, but they just called an emergency budget meeting and he needs to get down there NOW. I don't have my car keys with me. "We'll take mine", he says casually.

Driving through downtown streets, at noon, in an unfamiliar car with the owner in the passengers seat, he's your boss and the car is a Mercedes. Bring on the stress Babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Oh yeah, there was another suspicious package in downtown Oakland. It was in front of the Federal Building and they blew it up a few hours ago, just a block away from our main office and about 6 blocks from my office.

back to work

And, he didn't just drive himself because...? He's thinking of hiring a chauffeur and wanted to try the idea on for size? He'd just finished his 2 martini lunch and was being cautious?

I was in such a hurry to post and get back to work I didn't explain it all. We are only about 5 blocks from the main office, but parking is very tight there. Street parking runs the risk of a $25 ticket and the a space in the parking garages (if available) costs about $2.50 every 30 minutes. Since he already pays $80 a month for a spot across the street from the center, he doesn't want to pay again. An emergency meeting can be 15 minutes or 3 hours+. And our wonderful employer does not pay for parking, even when you are required to go there.

Or maybe he *was* testing me for possible promotion to chauffeur!
