What not to say to your boss

" I am going to leave early. My project wrapped up and I don't get all the directives for the blah blah blah until Monday, plus the board is a little slow today, so I am really bored."

ooops. I ran out of the office before he had a chance to ask me what board.

No, I don't have time for a special project. I'm too busy typing up my trip report!

[PA Girl]

"No, I will not be entering payables, running to the bank, etc. I am planning our next trip. I am also leaving early because it is raining."

I usually work from a home office, so I do alot of conference calls on my speaker phone. I learned the hard way the perils of surfing villa sites while on a call, because one of them had loud music that played every time I hit the link for holiday prices.

"Christmas in the Caribbean..."

#@$%!! mute key!! mute key!!

"Uh... Kate? We're talking about the marketing plan...What's that in the background?"

I wish! The project that requires me on Saturday is an off shoot of my regular job. We are building a new building and the phone and network splice is tomorrow. I need to be on sight to monitor sytem errors.
