The boss and me.

Yes, I do have a meeting/social engagement scheduled for this evening with big boss lady. I made the effort to invite her out for drinks because it's been a real long time since we've even had a lengthy one-on-one conversation. This is a proven strategy for succeeding in life: if your boss likes you- milk it for all it's worth. I consider myself fortunate that my boss likes me and thinks I'm fun. If I lose touch with her on a friendly type level then I just melt away into the ever-growing pool of employees that need her attention. I can't let that slip through my fingers, so we're going out in style tonight.
She's a very fun, independent, sexy and smart woman who started this business with her former husband and father to her two children. She and her ex still run the joint together- I assume it requires a great deal of effort for them to not kill each other every now and then, but so far they've been good about working together and the cafe only gets more successful every year.
So we're gonna "hang" and talk and shit. I guess it's also important to me since all this horrible gossip has been circulating through the cafe lately. I want her to always consider me a responsible ally who she'll never have to worry about causing any kind of ruckus. Plus, maybe she's got some new juicy gossip for me! If she knows that, as one of her upper-level manager people, that I'm professional and wouldn't betray her trust, then she just might spill all her secrets to me. She's done it before. I just want to know if she's thinking about firing Jane or anything, because I've heard talk. But it's just talk.
I'll definitely let you know what happens on our date.
