At Least They're Committed

I was telling my boss this morning about meeting the man yesterday who is going to semi replace me at my old position and how, after hanging with him for about an hour, the dude told me I looked tired. I told the guy, “Oh, NEVER tell a woman she looks tired!” I mean, I was tired because for one thing DSII had gotten in trouble at school because he and his friends were heading off campus to grab some lunch and evidently that’s not OK, but DSII said dozens of other students were doing it at the same time and didn’t get in trouble and he thinks it’s because most of his friends are youth of color. So we had to get him to school early for ‘clean-up’ duty and I didn’t get to do my hair and the bus was late and all sorts of things. Anyway, back to Chad telling me I looked tired: Ken, my boss, says, “I even know better than that!” And I said, well, I was tired and I am tired, I mean, I’m about to turn 50 I deserve to be tired once in a while. And as Ken was walking away he said, “Well, I think you look good.” Now THAT is a very wise man!
