Rain on my parade

It just wasn’t in the cards for me to have a perfect day.

I spend hours every week compiling numbers for the boss lady. Then she found out that the numbers were automatically being generated for other departments, so she had the reports guy create it for her, too. So basically, I do nothing at my job. Here is the email that I sent to my boss.

From: Me
To: The Boss Lady
RE: I quit

Basically that little spreadsheet just made me obsolete. Can I spend the rest of the day looking for a new job? I thought about sending an email to the report guy congratulating him on the accuracy of his numbers. Can I go home now?

that's not good, when a computer takes your job...

No, I didn't really quit my job.

But I really did send that e-mail. She responded and told me I was silly. So not only is my job meaningless, I don't even get taken seriously. I guess that makes sense, though.
