... and refer to the boss as "mas'sa" and in the only approved sentence: "yes, mas'sa"
hmm

Yeah sucks to be a new hire these days...
I could imagine the poor guy saying "Say Boss, I've been slaving away for _____ weeks here and I was wondering if i could have some time off to go _____ at a car race?"
Boss "You attitude has been noted! " (harumph!) (as he glares and scribbles something in a little small book he carries)
Hell I've been working for the same bastid for 37 years and I rarely dare ask for time off. Going down to Olympus today but stayed down at machine shop overtime till after midnight to get some stuff done and still feel guilty...as I should.
My boss is my co-driver. I don't know how I talked him into it, maybe it was all the Colin McRae and Dirt video games we play for fun softened him up, but he loves it and takes his job really seriously. Too bad his driver sucks, but we still have a lot of fun.
