My Boss

 • • • — — — • • •
 I was at my desk when my boss came shambling around the corner.  I couldn't believe that he was a zombie.  He hadn't seen me yet so I didn't want to make any quick movements.  I needed the jump on him.  I actually had a sledge hammer underneath my desk so I eased my hands around the handle and waited for him to get closer. For the record, I work at a construction company, so a sledge hammer isn't exactly out of place.  Also, it was a smallish one, relatively speaking.  Just as he was about to come around the corner I noticed that he put a couple of papers in my inbox.  I eased up on the hammer.  He half grunted, and half looked at me.  He wasn't a zombie, but ever since his promotion, he has been slowly dying on the inside.  He had just dropped off theTPS reports I had given him earlier that day.  So I guess they met with his approval.  It made me think about the definition of the "living dead", because if that wasn't it, I don't know what it takes.
