Am I so easily bought?

 

I had a meeting with my boss yesterday to discuss this major project I have been working on it.  The meeting had been scheduled and postponed multiple times (sometimes my postponement sometimes hers) and I had been dreading it for a week and change. 

 

Fortunately, I stumbled across this essay by Tom Robbins (whom I love).  I think I posted the link in a previous blog...I meant to...so...you know good intentions...

 

Anyway, because of that essay, I decided to go into the meeting as an acting exercise - that I was the pilgrim and she was the guru in the cave in the Himalayas (and not the control freak down the hall past the water cooler).

 

I don't know if it was this attitude or the fact that she started the meeting with, "You did an excellent job on this.  I'm very proud of you.", but the meeting went fantastic.

 

If it was the former, woo hoo, I have stumbled upon the secret of life.  If it's the latter...whoa...am I really so shallow that tossing me a psyhic doggie treat makes me sit up and pant obediently?

 

In any case, I (like the Tom Robbins narrator in the essay) feel much like jumping to my doom at the hands (or more aptly, wheels) of a CTA bus and are more prone to giggling until I achieve enlightenment.

 

Still...it would be nice to do that...AND get some freakin' cash too!
