“Department Manager Meeting at 3:00 p.m. today in the conference room.”
That’s the e-mail I got a few weeks ago. Damn I hate those meetings, so boring. Blah blah this, blah blah that, hard to keep awake and even take notes. So I was not looking forward to this meeting anymore than usual. I took my seat, opposite side of the head of the table-liked to call it my second in control seat.
One by one all the regulars came in and plopped down in their seats. I was making idle chat with one of them when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a new one. Mmmm, interesting. Average height, average build, dark eyes, beautiful dark hair that hung below his shoulders. Not this company’s typical manager material. They tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to managers. My immediate thought was he must have strong negotiation skills to get to keep his hair that long and still get the job.
So the meeting got on it’s way, me stealing an occasional glance at the newcomer. I could tell by his appearance and body language he must intimidate many people, especially women. Oh but not me. I saw him as merely a challenge. Let’s see how to describe him. Hmmm. Smoldering sexuality, that’s it. Like he would have no problem bending me over the table and fucking me while everyone looked on. I laughed to myself thinking, wonder if that would make these meetings more popular. Bet it would.
The meeting droned on for almost an hour and it was about to end, when the VP finally got around to introducing my new sexual challenge.
“Ladies, gentlemen this is James and he is our new MIS Director.”
Clap, clap and several nods of the heads were his greeting and welcome to the company. I locked eyes with him and couldn’t resist. I winked. No response. None at all. He looked at me like I was some bug-and he was slightly annoyed with my presence. Well that did it for me, screw him. He doesn’t want to be friendly, I can be stuck up too. So I got up and left the meeting without even acknowledging him. Just wait until he needs an emergency check cut, he’ll have to beg me.
Well a few days passed by and he never did need an emergency check, but my computer went on the blitz. Lost a huge report when it locked up. So as usual I call MIS, but what was not usual is now I have to put request in writing. Oh really? I don’t have time for this shit! I got a deadline fast approaching and I need every minute to recreate the report. I took off out of my office and ran downstairs to the computer room and straight for the “Manager’s” office. I walked in and told him straight up, my computer’s down and need help now. He calmly looked at me and asked,
“Didn’t you save the document occasionally as you worked on it?”
“No, if I had I wouldn’t be here would I?”, thinking to myself-smart ass.
“I’ll have one of the guys come up and fix it in a few minutes.”
“I don’t have a few minutes, I need the help now.”
“Okay, I’ll do you a favor and send Stan up now.”
“A favor? Isn’t fixing the computer your job?”
“Isn’t saving your document now and then, common sense?”, he said smiling.
I turned and stomped out of his office, Stan in tow.
“He’s a real pain in the ass, your new boss that is.”
“No actually he’s pretty nice, real quiet though.”
