boss's day

yesterday was national boss's day. i thought i would write a little tribute to my new boss.




she is tough, but fair. she does not let me nap on the job, but I guess most bosses don’t allow that. she does not give me an hour for lunch but allows for mini-breaks throughout the day. i work long hours and am constantly cleaning up her messes...but paid generously in snuggles and smiles and i have never loved any job more.

i read on the internet that the proper observation of this day is as follows:

"National Boss's Day is usually celebrated by presenting one's boss with a small gift or greeting card, by putting in an honest day's work, apologizing for any pending lawsuits or HR complaints. It is also customary to treat one's boss with kindness, very similar to a birthday, only with better presents."

audrey didn't get any presents yesterday, but i did put in an honest day's work and i apologized for her tummy complaints (no pending lawsuits that i know of) and i treated her with the utmost kindness. this post will have to serve as my greeting card to her.

if you are a fan of deep thoughts, here is a great one by jack handey:

“If you go to a costume party at your boss's house, wouldn't you think a good costume would be to dress up like the boss's wife? Trust me, it's not.”

haha.

I love you and I hope you take this in the context it's meant. Dave understands my humor. If you don't, delete away, my dear one!

It amazes me that a woman could even succeed as a boss. What about family values? Isn't she to stay home bare foot and breeding? I think you expect too much.

You are destroying family rights and values by allowing your daughter to have her own opinion.

You are destroying family values by allowing your child to be who she is . . . My GOD! What if she wants to marry another woman????

Satan is at work, my friends. Make sure you stomp on her personal choices now so that she doesn't run amok as an adult believing she's allowed to be the beautiful woman that she will, without any question in my mind given her beautiful parents and their fair values, turn out to be!
