No more personal favors for the boss!
Kara : Taylor, where have you been? Did you just get to the office? We were supposed to meet for lunch.
Taylor : Sorry about that. Mr. Bernstein had me dive him to the airport for his business trip.
Kara : Why didn't he just take a taxi? Did you at least take his car?
Taylor : He said he wanted to discuss my work performance. And, no, he made it clear that we were taking my car. And I even had to pay the tolls on the highway.
Kara : He's always taking advantage of the employees here! What did he say about your work performance?
Taylor : Nothing! He was on the phone most of the time, especially when we could see the tollbooths coming up.
Kara : He pulled a similar stunt on me last month. He asked me to go to pick up his dry cleaning. Then, while I was out, he called me had me go pick up his son at school and drive him to soccer practice.
Taylor : What did you do?
Kara : I picked up his so, like he asked. I'm not going to let some poor kid wait for a dad who is never going to come.
Taylor : Well, I'm drawing the line next time he tries to use me like that.
Kara : Me too. I mean, we're not at his beck and call!
