MINI-VENT

M. Got a minute?

C. Sure, what's up?

M. Need a quick vent

C. Go for it

M. So, get this. He texted me worried why he wasn't being included in the meeting.

C. And?

M. I texted him back telling him not to worry about it and that our boss just probably wanted to hear my thoughts. Imagine that.

C. Go on

M. He always treats me as his employee, so it's a big shock to him that our boss would actually value my opinion.

C. Glad you vented

M. Me too. Thanks!

C. You got it. My pleasure.
