I emailed my boss and told her I'd be late on Thursday morning since I had to take Phil to the airport for his trip to see his mom. I knew her response would be, "that's fine" because it's always "that's fine." Fine...kind of an interesting word. I'd like to ask her, "is that 'fine' as in sunny with clear skies, as in a 'fine day?"
Or 'fine' as in "this is a 'fine' mess you've gotten yourself in?"
Or 'fine' as in outstanding like a 'fine wine?"
Or 'fine' as in thin like 'fine hair' or small like "fine sand?"
I know I'd be upset if she answered, "fine" to the question on whether she thought I was competent enough or smart enough to handle a project. That would not be fine with me! For sure! Is fine, only satisfactory?
Can I go with "Fine, take your husband to the airport, take your time, it's all fine!" I think I will. :)
My lunch hour is over...well, that's just fine!
