😂 “The WiFi Laugh: A True Story of Desperation and 5G Betrayal”

So, I work remotely a few days a week from my boss’s house. Don’t ask why — long story involving construction, bad timing, and my WiFi being held together with hopes and duct tape.

Anyway, every time I’m over, my boss thinks it’s stand-up comedy hour. He’ll start cracking the driest jokes you’ve ever heard — like “Why did the Excel spreadsheet go on a date? Because it had cellf esteem.” 😐

Now, do I find that funny? No. Not even a little. But do I laugh like a caffeinated hyena every single time? Oh, absolutely. Why? Because I know the minute I don’t, he’ll “accidentally” change the WiFi password and say something like “Oh, you must’ve gotten disconnected.”

So now I’m in too deep. I’ve created a persona. A version of myself who lives for bad puns and Excel humor. I’ve fake-laughed so hard I got hiccups once. He thought I was crying from joy.

The WiFi is strong. But so is my shame.
