The other week, while the child was at school, me and my wife decided—completely on a whim—to ditch work and go for coffee and pastries in town.
This was quite the event (it’s not the sort of thing we generally do – look, I even put on a nice shirt and everything!) and as we were sat there, doing something completely different in nice surroundings, noshing on the most delicious pain au raisin I have ever eaten, I observed…
“I’m so grateful neither of us has a boss, and that we can just down tools and do this sort of thing. Living the dream, baby!”
My wife agreed, we both nodded, felt smug together for about 5 seconds and then both started laughing, simultaneously, at the ridiculousness of what I’d just said.
‘No boss’ - are you kidding me?!?!
