Meeting

It was a holiday for the underpaid
Everybody got a haircut and lemonade
-- Angie Aparo, "Spaceship"

"Will you come into my office, please?"

Oh fuck.

"Shut the door behind you."

Double fuck. Fuckity fuck.

"Fuck."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

She picks up an envelope off her desk and tries to hand it to me. "Open this, please."

I just eye it suspiciously, refusing to touch it. "Is it pink?"

She laughs, "No. We're offering you a raise." She extends her reach again.

This time I grab the envelope.

that's frickin' sweet! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who is very suspicious of closed door meetings with the boss.

Way to kick ass.

You crazy nut! We always expect bad things, don't we? But I guess it sets us up for more pleasant surprises.

Congratulations!

Silly lass. If they were going to fire you, they'd call you in at the beginning of the day, give you a box with that envelope, and escort you out. ... For future notice.
