Action: Friend’s electronics stolen from his apartment, calls me.

Action: Boss gets confused and unfocused about what I’m trying to say.
Reaction: I provide detail and proceed slowly and with enough context so that she can tell who I am discussing from moment to moment.
Reaction: Boss laughs and says she doesn’t need that much detail, even though she did just fifteen minutes ago.
Reaction: as I walk from her office and across the building… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
Action: Friday at 5 pm comes, as expected.
Reaction: hit the door running and don’t look back!
