Outside

by Michael P Calligaro

"I need those numbers now, Jeremy!"

Jeremy clenched his teeth and locked his eyes on his screen, trying his best not to look back at his boss,

Sam. "I'm sorry, sir, but there are a thousand here and you only gave them to me half an hour ago."

"A team player would be able to prioritize his time and get it done. I can see you just don't care to pull

your weight around here."

His blood pressure rising quickly, Jeremy tried to calm his heart with deep breaths. If the bastard really

needed the numbers booked right away, he'd have set a reasonable goal for getting them done. No, he

was just being cruel for cruelty's sake.

"I'll do my best sir, but you've got to be reasonable."

"I don't have time to be reasonable! If you can't pull this off I'll--"

Jeremy's watch started its quiet yet piercing beeping. Two o'clock. Time to go outside. He silenced the

alarm with a flex of his wrist and pushed aside the financials. Looking over his shoulder he sized up his

short, overweight boss. With a shrug he said, "Break time. I'll finish this off when I get back."

Sam's face turned red and he opened his mouth to speak. Jeremy cut him off. "Sorry sir, but I'm sure I

Alan stared up at him with caring eyes. "I can't understand why you of all people, let him ride you like

that."

"You know me. I'm a total pushover before my afternoon latte."

He nodded. "You be careful."

Jeremy smirked, "You're just saying that because you know Sam will make you pick up my workload if I

don't make it."

His coworker and friend shook his head solemnly. "You know that's not it." Then Alan's face broke into

a smile, "But you'd better hurry back this time. Sam hates you doing this and takes it out on me when

you're late." He sat up ramrod straight and shook his finger at Jeremy. "That Jeremy, I'm going to skin

him alive one of these days."

With a laugh, Jeremy replied to his mock boss, "Yes, sir!" Chuckling, he strolled to his locker. The firm

had conceded to give him the one closest to the elevators in hopes he wouldn't go traipsing through the

office in outdoor gear. For the most part he followed their wishes on this matter, though every once in a

while, usually immediately after review time, he conveniently forgot something at his desk and didn't
