This is a great example of why I love my job.

Yesterday the dispenser in the bathroom was almost out of soap. I was going to fill it, only I didn’t know where the soap was kept. So I asked my boss.

Me: We are almost out of soap, where do we keep the refill stuff?
Boss: Oh no.
Me: We don’t have any?
Boss: Well, in an effort to be as environmentally friendly as possible, we’ve been making our own soap. I’ll get the recipe for you, hold on.
Me: Shut. Up.

In a No. Way… Really? sort of tone. Because she is so awesomely dead pan that even people who’ve known her for years don’t always know when she’s joking.

Then for the next few hours, every time I said anything she told me to Shut. Up.

Right before she left, she asked me to look up the policy for what to do when an employee tells management to shut up. So I left her a note saying that I could only find the procedure for when management tells an employee to shut-up… Luckily that’s not what happened because you would be in so. much. trouble.

I got to work today and on my monitor there was a note that said, “It’s alright, I’ve found it. It’s called insubordination and it looks really bad on reviews.” With the note? Was a tin of white chocolate cookies. Insubordination cookies are the very best kind.

Another reason I love my job, because I get paid to do things like this:
