Is It just Me?...Final try

Or is there something strange about this scenario? On Thursday I had to accompany my boss to the Summerfest grounds to pick up his tickets for the Prince concert. The man is a fanatic. Actually, it goes way beyond that, there simply are not words to describe his devotion. I will say this, he has the little "TAFKAP" symbol tattooed on his forearm. He is almost 58 years old. Right there something is off. To me there is just something that is not right about someone close to my fathers age being such a huge Prince fan. Anyhow, we are in his car and I am telling him how to get to downtown Milwaukee because he has *no idea where he is going (he lives in Madison and is from England) and all the while he is yelling-no make that swearing- "You f---ing bloody fat cow..." at everyone on the road, even though he is the one cutting people off. The icing on the cake is that on top of everything else we are listening to, yep, you guessed it, Prince. I *just started working for this guy and here we are cruising the freeway in his car, him almost killing us and/or other drivers, me reminding myself to stay calm, that I've now spent 28 years riding in a car with my father, AKA- The Worst Driver In The World...and in the background Prince is crooning things ranging from "I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend, Met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine." to "Get Off, 23 positions in a one night stand..." Don't get me wrong, I myself am a big Prince fan, but come on! I keep thinking it was all some sort of strange new employee initiation. So I ask you...is it just me? I love my job, LOL. :)

    This shows your new boss trusts you enough to loosen up a bit with you. That's a good sign. Especially since you're so new. You must have made a good impression!
