Boss: [texting from his office, 12 feet down the hall] Where's my book?! [the fall magazine, which went to press MONDAY]
Me: Are you honestly 1. Asking me that 2. Texting me from your office?
Boss: [who has moved to lingering in my doorway] Are you suggesting I have [makes air quotes] "a problem?"
Me: I will not dignify that with a response.
Boss: [now whispering at me in my personal space] I want my book.
Me: [also whispering] I might actually hit you today.
Boss: Duly noted.
