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

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...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...
