Don’t Kick Me Around

It all started one afternoon when I was late for a meeting. My boss was very angry with me even after I told him that it wasn’t my fault as the train had broken down. He wouldn’t listen and kicked me out of the meeting. I didn’t like being kicked around by him, so I decided to get even. I didn’t want to look like I was kicking up a fuss, so instead, I put a plan in place and waited for the right time to kick it off. I decided to have it kick in when I was away on holiday, so no one would realize that I had done it. While on holiday I kicked back and waited to hear if my plan had worked
