This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

Let's not beat around the bush here
'Foxy, just so you know I'm taking tomorrow and Friday off.' Fair enough really, the whole team had been working on this damn CRM project for 3 months now, so a bit of R&R was acceptable for management too I suppose. 'I take it you'll be in tomorrow then?'

'Of course.' (Well, maybe a couple of hours late. Who's to know?)

'What time will you be in?' (Shit, he's on to me. Play cool Foxy and we're in the clear)

'Er, 9 boss.'

'Really?'

'Okay, 11 at the latest.' (Damn my honesty)

'Would it be easier if I just gave you the time off as well?'

'But I've not got any holidays left for the year?'

'Don't worry, neither have I. See you Monday.'

My manager is a legend.
