You know you work in America when....
....your boss comes back from a business trip, gives you a hug and tells you that he missed you 
Can't ever recall a similar moment in all my years working in the UK!!
Still new to the USA work culture - is this normal?? Or do I just work with weird scary people?
Happy easter everyone!

When I want to cop a cheap feel I just hang an elbow out and hope 'something' brushes against it
