Dodgeboss

There's an old game in Cube City with a new name: Dodgeboss. No, you don't get to hurl bosses through the air in hopes of knocking your fellow cube dwellers down (though that is a spectacular concept, indeed).

No, it's about avoiding your boss at all costs. Dodge the boss. I don't make a habit of dodging my boss, but I get a weird feeling when I see my boss coming into, or going out of, Cube City. I've had a number of bosses who care way too much about where you are and what you're doing every moment of every day. I guess I've accumulated baggage from most, if not all, of my other Cube Cities.

I saw my boss in the parking garage the other day. I was leaving when all was fair game, as office hours were officially over. However, my instincts took over and I started playing Dodgeboss. I exited one door while my boss entered another. I found myself wondering if she'd turn around and see me on my way to having a life. So I ducked behind a cement pillar and then walked behind a tall line of trucks, peeking between cars to assess my boss's whereabouts. Once she entered the door and it closed behind her, I slunk over to my car and got in. I was safe. I had won a game of Dodgeboss.

It's crazy, the games we play in Cube City. I'm just glad I was able to get the hell out of dodge that day.
