Common sense
My boss thinks I am a fool. Yesterday he sent me to buy 2 kg of sugar but I only found 1 kg at the shop so I didn’t buy. Very pissed at me he asked me why I didn’t use my brain and buy two 1 kg packs to make a total of 2 kg. Today he sent me to buy a pair of size 6 slippers but I only found size 3. This time I used my brain and bought 2 pairs of size 3 to make size 6. I took them to him & he told me to wait outside. I can see him typing...? I guess it’s a promotion letter
