Don't (Always) Fear the Reaper

Yesterday in Cube City, my neighbor's phone rang, and I heard her gasp. She collected herself and then answered the phone.

When she hung up, she said, "Whew. That scared me!"

When she told me who called, and it turned out to be the guy in HR who fires people, I replied, "That poor guy. He's the Reaper. Nobody wants to associate with him!"

Luckily, the Reaper wasn't calling to deliver fearful news, but it's hard to change how you feel about someone who can punt you out the door. At least we have caller ID so that we can see him coming.
