Today, I got a one-inch fish bone stuck in my throat. I went to the doctor, who claimed he couldn't see the long white thing embedded next to my tonsil. He charged me $70, and told me to eat some bread. I had to pull it out myself with a pair of tweezers. FML

Must be a pretty shit job if your BOSS has to share a cubicle instead of getting an office! I suggest spraying deodorant in his/her general direction, they will get the idea soon enough.

Moth balls smell like naphthalene, which probably doesn't help you regal. As for the OP, I'd say it is more FYL that you share a cubicle with your boss than anything else.
