Andy leaned back as far as he could in his boss' stiff-backed chair, grinned and said, "But don't you see? That's the one thing I can fire you from — you're no longer my boss!" After he enjoyed watching the reaction of his former boss for several moments, he stood up and strode out of the office, filled with a feeling of gleemancipation. It would only last until around the end of the month, when his rent was due, but for now, Andy simply enjoyed the moment.
