Meet the characters here. part1、Part2
Somewhere around her second month on the job, our “Flirty Mom” fully mastered what I can only describe as performance-art-level tardiness.
“My child just didn’t want to go to school today…”
“My kid wasn’t listening at aaaaall…”
Here they are. Her signature excuses, delivered fresh daily.
And of course, she switches to her special “for-the-boss” voice. Normally she talks like a regular human, but once she enters Excuse Mode, the pitch shoots up and every sentence suddenly comes with invisible sparkles. It’s the kind of voice that says, “People always tell me I sound like a cute little kid heehee♡” and honestly, at this point, she’s doing a full comedy routine.
Whatever Happened to Her Welcome-Party Confidence?
A few months ago at her welcome party, do you remember what she proudly announced?
“I know mornings are tough! I’ll make sure not to be late, okay?♡”
Fast-forward to today: she is, without question, a full-time tardiness specialist.
But With Our Manager Ira-Kami, She Turns Into a Cinnamon Roll
Apparently she’s been going out for drinks with Ira-Kami after work. Their distance? Suspiciously close. We haven’t said anything, but the air is giving strong romantic-comedy energy.
Here’s the kind of chatter floating around the office:
“Ira-Kami totally hired his type during that interview, right?”
“Exactly! That last candidate could definitely do the job. So… why her?”
“Well, at least when Flirty Mom’s around, Ira-Kami’s in a good mood. That part is kinda helpful.”
Anyway, gossip aside… here’s where things get interesting.
She Magically Avoids Busy Days With Precision
Now that she’s gotten comfortable, she seems to have developed a sixth sense for “days when being late won’t get her in trouble.”
Everyone agrees on this:
“She’s only late on the busy days, right?”
“But on slow days? She shows up on time like it’s nothing.”
…this is targeted behavior. No way it’s coincidence.
And She Never Apologizes. Ever.
Here’s the part that deserves an award:
She has not apologized even once.
Not a single “Sorry I’m late!” Nothing. She just slips into her seat like she respawned there.
Meanwhile, someone covered her work for those 20 minutes. Should we say something? Should we not? The office enters Schrödinger’s Conflict mode.
So… Is It Fine As Long As Ira-Kami Stays Happy?
Normally Ira-Kami is a walking storm cloud, but with Flirty Mom, he turns into a warm spring breeze. Thanks to this bizarre mood stabilizer effect, the whole office suffers slightly less.
Whether that counts as a benefit is… debatable.
For now, we’re all pretending to “observe the situation,” but the collective irritation meter is definitely rising.
Meta Description
A hilariously honest workplace story about a “flirty part-time mom” who’s always late, never apologizes, and has our usually grumpy boss wrapped around her finger. Drama, comedy, and relatable office chaos.
