Funny Conversation with my Boss....

First off, you'll have to understand my boss. He's a small business owner, so he is normally going about 90 miles an hour. He's very organized, possibly to the point of being OCD. He has high expectations that his employees be as organized and on the ball as he is. Once you understand this, he is easy to get along with. His family is very important to him, but we don't always see that side of him because when he is at work, he is focused on work.

Out of the blue today, he stops and asks how I'm feeling. He says I look pale. I'm feelin great today, personally I think its the shirt I have on today because he asked me the same thing last time I wore it. Its a dark teal and my skin is light enough against it that it must make me look pale. Anyway, he goes on, wants to know if I'm been getting morning sickness, drinking water, and walking. When I told him I haven't been walking as much as I should, he practically orders me to walk, and encourages me to do so on my lunch break. Not a bad idea actually, now that I'm feelin better and its cooler outside.

I'm touched that he took the time to ask. I've gotten used to fielding questions about m/s etc, but typically those questions come from women, and seem to be just for making conversation. To be asked by my boss in the same direct manner as he normally asks me about finishing a contract or some other work related task amuses me and gives me a bit of a warm fuzzy feeling (damn hormones!).
