That Is So $%#!! Funny!

Here's another one of those funny stories.  Not "ha ha" funny but "$%#!! You!" funny.

The boss I didn't like is swept away by unseen forces.  This didn't upset me in the least, which shows how much I have grown spiritually during my time in The Program.  I wish him well in the most abstract way but mostly I'm glad that I don't have to deal with him anymore.  It's not like I want bad things to happen to him but my first thought was: "Ah, thank god.  He's somebody else's problem right now."  I used to actively hope that a giant anvil would conk him on the head so maybe I'm getting a little better.

The thing is that he pretty much left me alone.  It probably pained him to have to deal with me as much as it pained me to have to deal with him.  I make my numbers so he never called.  Now I have to deal with his boss who seems to be a pleasant, professional fellow.  Who has called me more times in the last 3 days than my old boss called me in 3 months.  He wants to know what I'm doing.  He wants reports and feedback and updates.

The thing is I don't work a lot of hours.   Now I got someone on my ass who expects me to work a lot of hours.  I'm wondering if it's possible to get my old boss back.  I'm nostalgic for one of those tense conversations with a strong sub-current of ire and ill will.

Don't you just hate it when you get what you want?
