So it's my day off.
One of my perks is free ice working at the center. We have a hotel-class ice machine and I can empty the damn thing (something we do every now and again) and it'll be brimming full in 4 hours. So on my day off I come in to get some ice.
I really wanted to try Alton Brown's ice cream recipe from his "Churn Baby Churn II" episode.
So I come in to get the ice. I stop in by the office and say "Hi" to the people working there and t olet them know I'm here stealing some ice.
As I'm scooping ice int othe cooler I see my boss come in and ask if I could help some instructor with hooking his laptop to the projector. She told me that she already told the instructor that I was off today but since he saw me in the halls he wants me and only me since he trusts me.
Actually I think it's because he doesn't trust the staff assistants since in his mind they are female and obviously are too stupid to find the any key much less set up computer equipment. Regardless of the fact that I train them and both of them own their own laptop and have set them up to the projectors and stuff.
So I stop what I'm doing and go and help the guy. Friendly, quick, professional and his laptop is running the powerpoint with the full sound and video with ease. He thanks me, seems pleased that everything is running and every thing is fine...or so I thought.
I go back to my ice pilfering when my boss comes back to let me know that she has received a complaint from the instructor. It seems that my attire is very unprofessional and that he feels that I should be disciplined for wearing a Hawaiian, denim shorts and teva sandals.
Even though he was informed that I was NOT ON DUTY, was in on a personal errand, and went on the clock to handle his problem as a personal favor to the center and to him.
Next time the douche-waffle is in I'm going to make myself very scarce so he has to be helped by one of the ladies up front.

Your boss is now a-ok in my book.
