"YES, I WILL."

「○○さん、怒ってるのっ!?」

that was the first thing my boss said to me before our small meeting. i didn't mean that, but i e-mailed my boss like that.

***
my boss & i had discussed several different issues via e-mails, & sometimes words in our e-mails were too dry (?) or too business-like. in other words, our e-mails were getting their sounds not so polite or something.

then, my boss ordered me to do something. it was understandable, but i was stressed out. then i said in one e-mail like,

"YES, I WILL." (<- look. they are all capitals.)

it sounded, 「分かってますからっ!!」(<- actually, my boss said that to me exactly in japanese!!) he, as a native english speaker, explained the sentence looked upset.

i used that twice, & in fact, i was upset at first. but the second one was kinds of joke :P

by the way, i brought him two portions of じゃがポテト when we had the meeting; potatoes are my boss's favorite. & of course, he was so happy to get them :D

***
today's conclusion is "a good communication makes a good relationship", right?

It sounds difficulties with your boss. By the way, I recommend "じゃがびー" for you and your boss - try it !!
