Quotes

1.) An interaction with my manager during our bi-weekly 1:1.
Manager - "When I come to work I put my work pants on.  Not my fun pants."
Me (thinking silently) - "I thought work was suppose to be fun..."

My interaction with the VP, which by the way he thought was a top quote that he had ever heard :)
"As my manager told me earlier 'I put my work pants on when I come to work.  Not my fun pants.'  However, I thought work was suppose  to be fun.  Someday I hope work is fun."

2.) Another interaction with my manager during another bi-weekly 1:1.
Manager - "Forward everything that you think may be important to the team or me.  Heck, you may be considered a really smart person because you know something that we don't know."
Me (thinking silently)- "Okay, I'll send everything out!"

Later that week…
I received an email from an ESPN account asking about who to talk to about the company sponsoring a rodeo.  My first thought - "I'll forward it out to the team!"  Done!  Within seconds my boss was emailing me telling me that I had just forward spam.  He thought I was being a smart one, but in reality I was being sincere.  Once I realized my misunderstanding/mistake I decided to go along with the idea that it was joke.  Ever since then I have not been forwarding as many emails.

Work is grand.
