My boss is angry
"Ooopsss, I overheard you, sorry
Did you get divorced?"
Not an answer...
I'm asking louder:
"Sir,
is there anything
I can do for you?"
"Nothing at all,
Can you please make a call...
...but wait! What did you just tell me?
That you overheard me?"
His face turns into mad
Like a fierce dragon
Who's ready to burn my head down
I wish I hadn't been that curious before,
And I would've just walked out the damn door...
But here we go...
Staring at his wrathful eyes.
I know it's over for me
No excuses
Whatever I say till now
Is against myself
He's gonna fire me...
In the last minute
I'm writing it

How Speaking Well Can Make Your Family Happier
Why Speaking Well Matters: Speaking is like an art, and itβs crucial for maintaining strong family bonds. However, we often forget the importance of good communication, especially with our loved ones. We tend to be polite to strangers but sometimes unkind to our family members. To build a happy family, we need to manage our conversations and prioritize respect over blame.

When tender hearts, curious ears, become the agent of our greater fears.
Curiosity got the cat fired! Or something like that. I have learned to just keep my head down and pretend I hear nothing! Nice job, Anna.
Good one Anna.
I hope I am not that kind of boss. π
Haha! Nice job Anna.
Oh I surely hope that this didn't actually happen!
Nice twist on the challenge!
