LBL, I got. The new boss, I'm having a tougher time figuring out. He's funny. But in a totally different way than I usually get.
Today, as we walked into the parking garage he usually stows his car at he pointed to a box of donuts just sitting on a random space, "Want a donut?" Me: [laugh] "Sick." Him: [looks at me.] "They have them every Friday." Me: "Oh. I thought you were kidding." : / "Well, I actually did want a donut this morning - I bought one." Him: "I saw that." [awkward long pause] "I can spot a donut from a mile away." Unlocks the car.
A few days ago I added my thoughts on some office decorating. He just looked at me and said, "Katrina, Ryan and I were having a private conversation." They were standing at my desk.... in our big open shared-space office. I'm still not sure he was entirely kidding... but after a moment, he smiled and said, "I'm kidding." But then to add to the wonderfulness of interacting with this man he genuinely couldn't understand what I was saying, and suggested, "We'll need you to draw it." To which I replied, "I am not letting all of you see my sketching." Ryan just added, "Oh yeah, just go ahead and hop on AutoCat" - the program they all use which of course I have no clue how to even....open.
This is going to be fun... I'm going to have to think of an abbreviation for the new boss. Though, I feel a bit more hesitant about writing about him - he seems more, real-life and has definitely shown himself already to be a great (normal) boss.
