Annoyed Joy

People, in general, make me laugh. Most recent occasion: Today.

My boss was furious about something that didn't happen, that definitely should have. While I am not responsible for ensuring that the "activity" did happen, she did decide to hold me accountable. She completely lost her mind. Yelling and screaming at me, in my office. Fabulous.

Knowing that she really didn't want an explanation, and couldn't actually expect me to have one, I just let her go... on... and on... and on. After she had said the same thing for the fourth time, she was done. I said "I understand" and nothing more. She left.

About 30 minutes later, she walked into my office with a ton of cheer. (A little annoying.) She was really nice... nearly to the point of making me ill. The exchange was short and, otherwise, just fine.

She arrived again about 10 minutes after that, again, annoyingly cheery. Clearly she wanted to make sure that I wasn't mad at her for SCREAMING at me with no good reason...

ME= The only person in this building that is remotely nice to her.

People make me laugh.
