*Mr. BIL hands me edits to a letter and chart at 3:03 p.m.*
“I want to get this out this afternoon.”
“Okay, but when do you want these edits back?”
“Oh, take your time. How’s 3:05?”

The last time I asked my boss when she needed a project completed, she said, “Yesterday.” Love that.
BTW – how are you liking Brad Meltzer?
Real quotes from my boss… probably worst manger I have ever known. These are not direct quotes but paraphrased from my poor memory.
“Your smiling; you must not be thinking about work.” (Not directed at me, but another co-worker).
“You are letting your obligation to your family interfere with your obligation to the Govt [job]”
(Would not let me take a personal day to take my wife to the airport)
“You are letting your obligation to your wife interfere with your obligation to the Govt [job]”
(Directed at co-worker whose wife was in the hospital at the time)
“No whistling; your not concentrating on work.†(Directed at co-worker who like to whistle at her desk)
“I can tell by the way XXX’s is sitting that he was not working.†Directed at a member of my team who has bad posture while sitting; he “saw†this from 30+ feet away even though he could not see XXX’s monitor while I could and I KNEW that XXX was working.
One of these days, my co-workers and I will compile all of his more outragous remarks.
I am fortunate that I have a GREAT boss in Mr. BIL and his comment was purely a joke.
Stacy – he’s a fun writer – it’s all fluff, but good fluff. 🙂
