My boss hates me
We had a lunchtime party to see a guy off who's leaving for a different job. My boss sat in the corner picking disconsolately at a limp salad and glaring at me as I scarfed down a medium pizza.

Later he was heard muttering darkly about "...goddamn 115 lb. skinny..."

1. Well, hell,
if you're scarfing pizza while us fatties are eating rabbit food, who can blame him?

5. He gets it
He was mostly kidding. They had been discussing obesity earlier.

7. You'll be doing him a favor then
to print out and give him this article:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,1200549,00.html

It's not really obesity that is a major cause of illness but yo-yoing weight and a sedentary lifestyle that are the culprits. Another thread I know but might give him a little perspective. At least he was joking.

4. Mine hates me, too.
Worst part is, I'm self employed.

6. Sounds like he's on a diet. He'll get used to it.
I feel sorry for him.

It took a while for me to adjust as well.

During a bomb threat one day, the dept head and a group of us went to Baker's Square. Guess which one of us ordered a salad instead of a piece of pie?

Indeed, I've learned to love lettuce more than chocolate.

Maybe he has the hots for you and wants to match your level? :D
