Why Don't You Just Buy It

I currently lease my car and I'm nearing the end of the contract so I had to have someone come and inspect it. I had them come look at it at work because that's where I am all the time and so when the guy came my boss saw him looking at my car.
My boss asked me if I was having car trouble and i explained my lease was almost up, bla bla. She then asked what i was going to drive and I told her I was planning on buying out the lease so I wouldn't have to put money down and have a higher monthly payment, etc etc.

She sort of looked at me and said: "why don't you just buy a new car?" She was being serious. She was really asking me that, completely innocent. I told her - I don't have any money. I don't make very much (btw - she decides my salary). She laughed and said, oh - haha yeah. Well I guess that makes sense then.

Was it really necessary for you to rub my face in the fact that you make enough to just buy cars and I can barely afford the monthly payment? thanks so much.

The Dreaded Commute: Snow Edition

Seriously with the snow today? I got up early and drove about 20 miles an hour all the way to work; an hour and half and 3 skids later I finally arrived. That's when I realized that my prize was actually being at work. I'm going out on a limb here and saying it wasn't worth it.

I Don't Work Here

I watched this video last week and thought it was mildly amusing, then it happened to me. I was at a restaurant after work wearing black pants and red button down shirt and a girl came up and asked me where the bathroom was. When I told her I didn't work there and didn't know she gave me a dirty look as though she didn't believe me.

A Company InVESTment

I just got an email to send my size to the events manager because we are getting "a fun clothing item" at our sales meeting. After some investigating I have uncovered that the clothing item is a vest. My first thought was vest, like a suit vest, and I was very confused and thought, oh great we're going to be forced to put on some sort of performance wearing vests and top hats and canes. I envisioned a kickline while singing I loooove to woooork! That myth was quickly dissuaded when they told me no it's a fleece vest with the company logo. Ohhhh. So I said, a fleece vest? Why can't we just get a regular fleece coat, like with sleeves? The answer was, of course, that sleeves were too expensive. We can't afford sleeves.
