I'll give you PUNCH

I just got an e-mail from a coworker announcing there will be cheesecake and punch for his boss's birthday. His boss is my boss-by-proxy, since my actual boss hardly speaks to me or acknowledges that I might make any valuable contributions. In fact, today, while introducing me to some people who were visiting as guests (important ones, I'm guessing), he said "And this is maus (haha, no he said my real name - I don't think he's aware of my plethora of nicknames)...she does such and such, and manages our budgets." He looks at me and says "And how much are our budgets?" and I answer "Roughly X-million dollars for this year", which he repeats to the people he was introducing to me. And then he says "Well, really she doesn't do much but sit there all day in that office." I guess he was joking. I hope he was joking. I didn't find it all that funny, especially since I'd be hard pressed to explain just what it is HE does all day - when he's even here...
