Whoops.

Yup. I definitely said “what’s up?” to my boss today.

Le gran sigh.

    Yesterday I, hurtling down the West Side Highway with my boss, compared paste-paper decoration (it’s a book-arts thing) to ejaculating purple onto some paper and smearing it around.

    He was like “Totally, dude!”

    I fucking adore my job.

    English isn’t my boss’s native language (although he’s very fluent), so I think he goes out of his way to use colloquialisms like that. He also has a sense of humor. Consequently, he sometimes says some things that sound really weird 1) coming from one’s boss, and 2) coming from a 40-something man with a thick German accent. On the other hand, I’ve heard my labmates say some rather strange things to him, too.

    I work here part-time (the aforementioned situation), and here (where I wouldn’t say anything about ejaculating but would say “what’s up?”).

    I friended you because I probably should have long ago. (Jonah from Yale House, as may or may not be clear from my journal). I don’t think “what’s up?” is an especially inappropriate thing to say to one’s boss.
