It's Just Work
“I’m going to call into work. I can’t make it today” I say covering my mouth while coughing. “I know I am new to this job, but it is what it is” I say trying to shrug it off. My friend on the phone says to me with a very stern voice “I can tell that is a fake cough and your boss will not be happy. He might even fire you”. This friend doesn’t know but I had texted all my other friends about it too and was receiving replies left and right. What I had not expected to see was all the negative remarks about it and how I shouldn’t call in. I chuckle softly while sending a mass text and saying to my one friend on the phone, “This is why you guys are good friends. You care about me enough to worry about me losing my job. That is not going to happen though because my boss would never fire me and he himself would be in big dodo if he did. He is so understanding”. I hear nothing on the phone and even must double check if the call was still going. I am bombarded with replies in text and my friend on the phone saying very angrily “If he is such a good boss and so good to you, why would you do this to him? Will he accept it? If it were me, I would fire you”. I laugh to myself softly but loud enough my friend hears, and this causes him to explode. “What type of piece of crap employee are you? Why the hell would you even take this risk? Quit being so lazy and do your damn job you piece of shit” he says yelling in my ear through the phone. It is so bad I must check and see if my ears are bleeding and the language is so bad in the text replies I receive that my eyes burn just reading them. I tell them all to calm down because the CEO even gave permission. I receive a lot of question marks and even my friend on the phone goes silent. I ask him if he is alright, and he responds with “ok, you need to explain now and maybe I won’t call the CEO and tell them they are stupid”. I take a deep breath before I start to type and explain to my friends that “my CEO is a huge sweetheart. She would let me pretty much do whatever I want also, if it’s not dangerous. She is a total babe too. My boss is so lucky also because they are married. He has such a sweetheart, and beautiful wife that its not fair. I am at least blessed she likes me”. This causes an even bigger outrage and my phone is practically blowing up with texts that are so bad they are basically audible, and my friend is screaming at me so bad I can hear it clearly while my phone lay on the ground. “how could you even say that? You are a married man. I can’t believe you would go that far. What about your wife? You are clearly going to hell”. This is all ended as he hangs up on me and I am sure that hearing me laugh about it didn’t help the situation. I think my other friends are done texting me to. The next day I see my friends at our church and one of the ones I had texted slaps me. The one I was on the phone with then proceeds to grab my shirt at the collar and shoves me against the wall. “If you hurt that woman, I will never forgive you. Quit your laughing and prepare for a huge beating” he says glaring and clenching his jaw while I giggle. He lets go and steps back with the upmost confusion when he hears my wife snickering behind him. He turns to her and throws up his hands and all my other friends join in while asking “Why would you be ok with this?”. She takes a deep breath and settles herself before proceeding to explain “Let me guess, he said something about hating his boss and he loves his bosses’ boss?”. She holds up her hand to shush everyone and continues “he only said that because even though he may not say it in an easy way to understand, he works for himself. This is the funny part because he is his own boss and he is calling himself a dick. Also, as the CEO is concerned. That works because he calls me boss so then that would make me the CEO. So, everything he had said was actually about us and is alright”. This is met by a lot of sighs and laughter and people exclaiming how happy they are that it was a misunderstanding. As they are continually telling me that was a bad joke and not funny, I tell them “this will now go down as one of the greatest Sundays ever”. We grab our things and proceed into the hall while chuckling about the start to the day. Its all ended will a light smack to my shoulder as my wife tells me “That was not a good thing to do to your friends. You need to be nice mister”. “Yes ma’am” I say bowing my head. Yep, it is definitely the best Sunday, I think to myself.
