Whoops!
Think i was so tired my this morning's events that I simply forgot to watch my mouth.
late in the afternoon, my boss walked over to my desk, asking me if i am free to go down to the canteen (just downstairs) to help him get a pack of
milo. Normally when he asked me to do that, i would also ask my fellow colleagues if they would like to have a drink too, "顺便嘛！”. I dun mind running down to the canteen , as I see it as a break to get away from
staring at the
computer screen.
So , it just happened that I was asking Colleague A if she want anything and at the same time my boss was talking to colleague B (they were right
btw me and Colleague A).
Colleague A jokingly asked :
"老板请啊？”and i just went without thinking :
"他哪里会请！" (right in front of boss)*
ooops*
I could see Colleague A gasped, her eyes quickly dart at our dear boss standing right in front of me but she quickly recover and said "ouch ouch！" (trying to make it that I was joking ‘酸’at our boss）
Yet i was laughing my head off at my silly mistake and trying to dig a hole to hide from my boss at the same time. I could not take it and end up laughing til i
squatted down next to a table, almost gasping for breathe.
and Boss reaction was .....
"还讲到这么大声hor" Well, boss was smiling when he said that, so i took it that I was lucky that boss
didn't take this into heart. (
I hope)
I do not mean that my boss is so stingy that he never treat us any meals. Boss did treat us to a year end get-together dinner late last year, but we all know he is not the type who will treat us coffee and tea regularly.
There was no malice intended when I made that comment, it is just a casual remark but I had simply
forgotten that he was right in front of me and the words just slipped out without thinking .
A lesson learnt indeed.
