THE BEST REASON I’LL EVER HAVE TO CHANGE MY PHONE NUMBER

Since this seems to be catching on, here’s a new one, from my last day at work.

The Temp I Trained to Take Over For Me: “Can you leave me your phone number, so then if I have any questions on Monday, I can get in touch with you?”

What I said:  “Um… sure.”

What I should’ve said:  “Um… no.”

I wish I would’ve had the guts to say that, but I didn’t.  She was in way over her head, and we both knew she’d have tons of questions on Monday.  I had to agree to help her.  I mean, who wants to seem like a complete asshole?

Thankfully, I think I’ve mastered the art of being a complete asshole without seeming like one. 

I said I’d leave the number, but I never did.

It’s been a week and a half, and I haven’t heard from her.
