Folks,
My boss just told me that I need to "build up my resistance" to illness. What he meant, of course, was "I don't like you taking time off but passive aggression is how I work so I won't come right out and say that. Instead I will say something that while on the surface seems innocuous, is really an understated jab that you're not a real man, like me."
And I replied "yeah, this cold is a killer" in a snotty arrogant way. What I meant, of course, was "If you only knew what my resistance is. I've slept places you couldn't even dream about - under pool tables in basements, on studio floors, on sofabeds infested with mice - don't get me started. The only thing that's weak in it is that I have to pretend to be sick to take off the days I need to tour and record."
Essentially, a classic standoff.
So basically, Joe, yer saying you're a liteweight wussbag who can't handle a witty bitty cough. Oh, and you carry as a badge the fact that you don't have the good sense to avoid sleeping in nasty-ass locales. I think your boss sounds like a great guy. Can you forward his email to me so I can be his friend?
