Goodbye, boss-across-the-hall!
Published by Becky S July 12th, 2005 in boss-across-the-hall
After Friday, boss-across-the-hall will become ex-boss-across-the-river. Because ex-boss-across-the-river would be a boring blog character, I decided to kill him off.
GG NEWS: On Friday, July 15th, boss-across-the-hall was electrocuted in the soulless office park men’s room after dropping his Blackberry into the commode. A forensics team has determined that boss-across was attempting to send several e-mails, schedule a staff meeting, and negotiate with a vendor when the incident occurred. Also found at the scene was the latest issue of Sync magazine.
Or how about this?
GG NEWS: On Friday, July 15th, boss-across-the-hall was run over in the soulless office park parking lot while testing his team’s new conference bike. Several H-O-R-S-E players witnessed the accident but were unable to save boss-across because his body had been weakened by an overdose of fish oil pills and sunflower seeds.
But then I had a better idea. I’m having a breakfast meeting with President Bush next week (it’s been a while since our last conversation), and I plan to pitch the idea of boss-across-the-hall for Supreme Court. Boss-across is a perfect candidate—he has an unstoppable filing technique and an unlimited glue stick supply, he’s always accessible via pager, and he won’t mind reading briefs in the bathroom. Also, he’s a skilled schmoozer, so confirmation shouldn’t be a problem.
I hate to kill the guy off, so please call your Senators and support boss-across-the-hall for Supreme Court!

My favorite Boss-Across story is the Christmas lights incident. His antics will be missed.
Great death Boss-Across-the-Hall. Only piece that was missing is when blackberry offered him a full refund even after traces of 2000 flushes blue were found inside!
The end of an era.
Boss-Across-the-Hall, you will be missed.
Oh Boss-across-the-hall we mourn your loss–from fish burps to the Christmas tree story–to the gadegtry use in the bathroom–I am sure you will miss having your life blogged about from your departing Becky. You’ve been such a good sport about it all. I wish I could send flowers to this electronic funeral, but all I can muster is ***** (a daisy chain for you).
Hope your last day at work is wonderful Birthday week Becky!
is that although Becky is happily installed in her new home, her DSL is not. So, Good Grief! watchers, hold tight for now and hopefully the blogging will continue soon.
