    Oh my goodness!

    Why is he texting you and not calling?

    Have you any inkling what this is about?

  • not a clue
    totally out of the blue. very very odd.

    he does occasionally text me so that isnt all that unusual! but the lunch is very unusual!
  • I've never been a boss but if I was I wouldn't take someone to lunch to break bad new to them! :confused:

    Does your job involve working with clients? Sounds like you may have to do a bit of extra work or something and he is buttering you up.

    Can't you reply asking what it's about? :confused:

    I doubt he would sack you over lunch ?? Why waste money on someone who you are going to get rid off :D

    What about a positive thought ? Maybe a promotion :T Or a pay rise :j

    or maybe there is a little chemistry :heart2:

    Best of luck anyway, try to find out what the subject is going to be about before ordering, that way if its bad news order a massive meal....
  • i replied saying yep no problem.

    possibly buttering me up! i suppose you are right about the not taking someone to lunch to give them bad news thing!! surely he would book a meeting room or something?! he is a bit odd tho!!
  • def NO chemistry!! LOL! he is 40 years older than me!!

    yeah am at work now - im on tenterhooks too!!
