My Boss Has an Alter-Ego

On my very first day of work, my boss started using a weird alternate voice when chatting with a co-worker. I should have known right then and there that this job was not meant to be. She called it her "other side" that came out at random times. Suddenly, her voice became deeper, throaty and pretty darn scary. She called herself "Joan"* (*name changed to protect even the not-so innocent) and explained her "other persona" in more detail. Apparently she's a much older women who loves traveling and gambling and being a cougar. And why is she telling me this on my VERY FIRST DAY OF WORK? So, so odd.

Well, the voice came back out the other day, in the form of an e-mail to myself and my team, thanking us for doing a good job and wishing us a good weekend. The e-mail included a random picture of "Joan" kickin' back on a ledge with a cigarette with the message "Toodles, poodles! It was one of those pictures like you'd see on a funny greeting card. Just entirely bizarre to receive this from MY BOSS!

TOODLES POODLES! LOL
