Golfing with the boss
I got the nod today - playing golf with a couple members of the management here in the office for the first time, including the one I report to directly. We generally get along quite well. So, here is the question: when they approached me to join them they already started making excuses for their game. Do I go Cheney on them and make them go away saying, "He mislead us! We never knew he could hit a golf ball," or do I go Bush on them and let them win, then in the next round clobber them? Oh, yeah, there are a couple of you who have played golf with me a number of times, will use my own words against me and say, "I hope you're being confident and not cocky." You know who you are - resist sending the email, because this is not a hailing of my golf game, but rather an indictment of theirs. And even after that, if you are still contemplating sending that email think about this - of the many times we've gone head to head what percentage have you been victorious, Radio Dial boy?! Oh, don't even go there! Error! Error!
And that's where things take a turn for the worse, 'cause of the many things I learned in Improv class (lets not talk about that) an inside joke isn't funny to the outsiders, of which there are many, many more of in the audience.
