Unsolicited Jesters....

I have always wondered what’s about bosses that tend to engender an inexplicable surge of ill will towards them. That’s always been baffling. Is it only because they are working above us? Well if that’s the only reason than I guess it’s understandable. Imagine yourself on a tree trying to protect your bottoms. A boss always has to do that and it is quite stressful to constantly hold onto your bottom and I believe that makes him grumpy. But that’s not the only reason for our hatred. There are some bosses who have a fixed bottom but still think of their employee as a mutant species bred to cater to his needs.

I think another reason for this hatred would be a need for a point of conversation and the necessity to fit in. It’s human nature. When you are new to the company, we obviously tend to follow the herd. Your colleagues hate him and you hate him with no reason. It’s like Hey New Guy! How do you like our boss?, asked with a smoldering glare. Obviously your answer would be he sucks and there starts the ‘I hate my boss agenda’ and Thanks to bosses, they do nothing to change their ‘I suck attitude’ and we all end up hating our bosses.

But bosses can be funny sometimes if you know where to look for. Mine cracks me up with his antics. He believes he fathered Superman and it’s great to see him go on and on about his kid. My boss actually thinks his kid a savior of mankind (no offence kiddo, but your father thinks you are DaVinci, Newton and Spiderman rolled into one. Enjoy your handful). I guess if you truly start to hate your boss anything he does is a reason to make fun off. Well all the bosses that I have crack me up. My senior boss is just an inch taller than me and he struts around the floor as if he is Hercules reincarnated and he I think he thinks of himself as a super stud. My other senior boss is nearing 50 and he walks around twirling his ID card as if he is in his sweet 16’s. He reminds me off some Italian farm girl minus the beauty of course.

Well anyone who reads this may sympathize with me coz I have 3 bosses, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. I hate to say this but at the start of this Para I realized that office seems to be a little bearable because of their antics. So my learning ‘Hate your bosses with all your energy and you will find stuff that’s gonna make you laugh’. Follow this and office will seem a little more fun.
