Don’t swear at senior managers

I was at work in the IT dungeon (help-desk lab) ticking away at my computer when a senior manager of the company came in, laptop bag over his shoulder.

Manager: Hey, so, I had a little issue with my laptop

Me: Oh yeah? What’s going on?

The manager places his laptop bag on my workbench, opens the bag and pulls out his laptop

Manager: I ran over my laptop with my truck

So this was a first for me – I walked over, looked over the laptop, sure enough it looked like it had been run over

Me: Oh mother fucker!

Manager:

Fortunately the manager had a good sense of humor – when I realized what I had said and looked his way, he had the look of bemusement.

Me: Sorry – I’ll get a replacement to you by end of day

I usually try my best not to swear at my manager, sometimes I fail. Thanks ADHD.
