My boss sends me out on all of these unusual and strange errands.
I’m sure she is just trying to test my resolve.
I can honestly say that I am getting close to my limit. She has sent me out for a coffee everyday this week in the middle of the heat at 1:00. We have a perfectly good coffee machine and an espresso and cappuccino maker in the break room, but she still insists that I walk across the street to the coffee shop. I always get her an iced coffee and a caramel stone. Last week when I went into the coffee shop, the AC unit was broken. It was extremely hot and uncomfortable in the lobby. I thought I was going to pass out. I didn’t want to stand in that Lobby and wait for coffee. There was a line of five or six people in front of me and one person had a list of items they were going to order. I went back to the office and I stopped in the break room to grab a caramel cappuccino and a couple of Oreo cookies. I told my boss that it was the best we could do on short notice. I hoped that she would laugh and find my joke funny. I told her about the AC unit being broken in the coffee shop. Her response to my story was exactly what I expected. She told me to go back to the coffee shop and wait for the items that she ordered. She did not care if the AC unit was working or not.
