Beyond the Call of Duty

We are having a meeting in the conference room this morning and BM (boss man) starts scratching his foot and complaining that it itches. I offer to get him the hydrocortisone cream that I keep in my desk for insect bites, but he is a tough man and says, "No, I don't need any." He takes a call, takes his shoe off and sits scratching his foot and whining.

Being the efficient problem solver, I go to my office and get the cream. I walk up to him holding the tube to squeeze into his hand so that he can apply it to his itchy foot. He raises his foot so I can apply it. Bleaugh. He has the scaliest, most disgusting sole I think I have ever seen. I squirt the tube and run.

I don't know if I will recover.

Ever.
