| Story: | The work world has been so difficult for so many of us in the last few years, but there are still funny things that happen at work. My former boss was a very dapper, dignified and well dressed investment banker who wore very expesnsve suits, ties and shoes. He always looked perfect. His secretary was an older woman, very quiet and seemed very serious. She never smiled and or laughed. On the day I left the job, I was saying goodbye to everyone and on my way out the door when she whispered to me: "Let me tell you something about your boss. Ever since I started working here, I have wanted to grab his feet, take off those beautiful, shiny shoes he wears and his silk socks too, and tickle his bare feet." I just stared at her. For six years she had thought of that. The idea of that distinguished silver-haired, pinstriped banker - who is about a foot taller than she is - having his $1,000 Italian wingtips and designer socks pulled off by his determined, grim-faced secretary while he struggles to hold on to them made me laugh out loud. I said "Yeah? And what if his wife comes in?" I just thought it was a weird, out-of-character joke. She was offended: "I meant that very seriously" she continued. "He's always so stuffy snd dignified. If I could just get my hands on his soles once...One day I will" And I won't be there to see it. | |||||||||
