You're NOT the Boss of Me!


Hey there folks! So, let's talk about work for a minute. Okay, well not work exactly but let's talk about bosses. Yeah those people who usually get paid the big bucks, have the corner office with the great view and the EA that is harder to get past than a secret service agent? LOL Now some of us have been lucky enough to have really great bosses (I'm not gonna name names - ok initials ALW) but there's probably also been at least one, if you're old enough, that hasn't been so great (am NOT even posting initials...) Just in case you've been blessed and fortunate enough to escape the trials of a not-so-great (AKA HORRIBLE) boss, here are:

 10 Signs of a Terrible Boss/Supervisor

  1.  Believes the entire world is theirs and you poor schmucks are lucky to be in their presence.
  2.  Reminds you daily that you can be replaced
  3.  Thrives on setting you up for failure (i.e. giving you tasks that you aren't prepared for)
  4.  Pits you and another employee against  each other in hopes of starting a fight - just so they can fire both of you
  5.  Believes that only senior management should be allowed to have babies. The rest of you should be too busy working to have children anyway.
  6.  Is upset whenever a colleague bestows praise on one of THEIR direct reports
  7.  Takes credit for...well EVERYTHING - except of course for anything that goes wrong. That, obviously is your fault.
  8.  Shocked by all of your vacation requests. "Vacation? VACATION?! How the heck can you afford to go on vacation on what I pay you?!"
  9.  Replaces all of the office coffee with decaf (That's just devilish!)
  10.  Believes the only way you should miss work is if you died

You may not have experienced ALL 10 of these but if you have experienced ANY of 
these...I'm just saying. Hmm, might be a good time to spruce up that resume.

Peace,
Mackgurl

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...
