gosh, what a liar.

yesterday when mr. t and the boss had to go shopping, i said to carl, "i know something is going to happen. i'm going to need to bail them out of jail or something." sure enough, when carl and i were at lunch, mr. t called.

"we got lost," he said.

"are you joking?" i asked.

"yes. we forgot our wallets," he said.

"are you joking?" i asked.

"no." thankfully they had already called someone else to bring the wallets to the store.

this morning i decided to do some xmas shopping before coming into work. i sent a text to mr. t, "i'm going to come in around noon."

"why? i'm already here," he replied.

"because i'm not as punctual as you are," i said.

"oh. bad work ethic," he said.

"because i got lost?" i teased in reference to his shopping trip yesterday.

"ha," he said.

when i got to work this morning, i went into his office. he asked how i got lost. i blatanly lied about wanting to take a different route to work.

he asked which road i took. i told him, "holmes road" which is wayyyy out of the way.

"how come if you are coming from overland park, would you take holmes road?" he asked.

"um... i just... needed... some variety in my life?" i lied.

this conversation went on for about 10 minutes. he asked if i saw a gas station to stop and ask for directions. i told him, "no, i was out in the middle of nowhere. just fields and cows. i stopped and asked the cows for directions, but they weren't helpful at all."

at one point, i even asked, "you know i'm lying, right?" to which he just blew me off. we talked about other random crap. as i walked out of his office, he said, "i really can't believe you got lost".

i told carl that i didn't think mr. t realized i was lying. so, about 30 minutes later, i went back into mr. t's office about something else. carl came in. mr. t asked him if he heard about how i got lost. carl said, "no, i heard she was coming to work late but didn't realize she got lost".

"um.... i was lying," i said.

"what?!" mr. t was shocked. "i can't believe it."

i can't decide if i'm offended that he really thought i could get lost on my way to work.

now he's mumbling in his office, "gosh, what a liar. i mean, seriously."
