this morning #1958.
this morning, even though last night before we left the office he’d told me TWICE to get him a cold brew on my way in today, when i stopped at the coffee shop, i totally forgot. arrived at the office & as soon as i saw him, i remembered. watched as he noticed that i was only holding one coffee. his reaction melted from FUCK YEAH COFFEE to WTF. waved me over to his office. “have a seat.” slowly shut the door behind me, smiling but in a way where his mouth said one thing while his eyes said quite the opposite. as he settled in behind his desk, he cut the smile off with a question. “do you enjoy working here?” nothing good ever comes from a question like that. i straightened up. went to sip my coffee & stall for time. thought twice.
