Things My Boss Has Said
Me: Do you know if the elevator is still stuck? I’m already running late, maybe I should take the stairs.
My boss: Are you familiar with the writings of Tzu-Tse? He wrote that if a man waited by the river long enough, the bodies of his enemies would float by.
Me: Uh, okay. I just need to go to lunch eventually.
My boss: Back then, they didn’t have a word for “eventually.” They didn’t have a word for “eventually” until… probably late 19th century.
