Dumbass Dealings

I try to avoid conversations with my supervisor at work at all costs. It's not always possible, though. Here are a few examples of why I avoid interaction.

Supervisor: Beth, I've noticed you haven't been at any of our monthly staff meetings lately. (FYI, these are held on Wednesdays at 9 am.)
Me: Well, uh, that's because I work 5-9pm on Wednesdays.
Supervisor: Oh, hmm...
Me: (This is where I walk away)

S: Whatcha eating there?
M: An apple and some oatmeal.
S: (Pointing to my bowl) That looks like some sort of cereal.
M: Uh, yeah. It's oatmeal.

S: Can you switch weekends with another person? She needs off on the 11th.
M: Well, since that's my normal weekend to work, I just assumed I would be here anyway. I can't really switch.
S: Thanks for your input. Your help is appreciated.

The End.

I should add, my supervisor is the one that makes my schedule. Which makes two of these conversations pretty ridiculous.
