A Comic Battle
Posted on April 25, 2012
So there I am with a half-eaten Wendy’s cheeseburger on my tray in the middle of the Jacob Javits Convention center dressed as Hit Girl when my phone growls like an angry puppy. It’s my day off and my boss knows I am at Comic-Con so why is he calling me? I silence the puppy-growling ringtone and pop another fry in my mouth.

“Is that him?” Joel asks with a wide smile peeking through his green Kick-Ass outfit.

“Yeah, he is driving me nuts. He knows I am off today.”

Although I placed the phone in my purse I cannot stop thinking about the possible reasons my boss is calling me. A server went down. The site is crashing. Orders are not going through. The possibilities are endless and I succumb to the pressures of running a high-volume eCommerce site and check my email.

“Oh crap. He forgot about the I.T. budget meeting today...in ten minutes! Crap. I have to go. I can get to the office in five minutes if I grab a cab right now.”
