Two Work Farewells

Yesterday, as I left work, I said to my boss, “So long, sir.”  It’s just something I do, like calling women “madam”.  It’s not meant to be sarcastic or suck-uppy, it’s just a weirdly old-fashioned part of my speech.

He responded good-humoredly, “Come on, none that.  You’re older than I am, that doesn’t work at all.”

So, today as I was leaving, I saw him through the office door, so I leaned my head in and said, “See you tomorrow, youngster!”
