A day in the life of...

March 11, 2013 at 10:32pm

My boss just parked her car in an illegal parking zone. Apparently now, I’m responsible for her vehicle. I’m sorry- is that in my job description?

5 encouraging things my boss has said to me this week

1. “My daughter could put together a better contract than you” (her daughter is 10)

2. ” You make my life harder”

3. ” your presentation is questionable”

4.” Why can’t you just assume I’d want lunch, instead of me having to email you every now and then when I might wan’t lunch..?” - I’m sorry, that makes no sense.

5. ” Do you ever think ahead?”

An email from my boss with an order at 6pm on a Friday night…

Welcome to a day in the life of…..me

You know when something is so unbelievably ridiculous, you can’t help but step back and giggle about it? Well…that happens to me, daily. But, giggles aren’t the only reaction. Sometimes there are tears, sometimes fits of rage and sometimes blank expressions, because I actually don’t know how to react. This is a blog about my relationship with my boss. I’d say we are on a ‘Journey’…a journey mostly filled with painful experiences. Anyway, I hope for my sake some of you readers can relate, but for everyone else, I hope you have yourself a dream boss and can laugh at my misfortune
