Tonight I went to see the movie, Horrible Bosses, starring Jason Bateman. It was funny. Really funny. I laughed out loud during quite a few scenes. So did the rest of the audience so it must've really been funny because I've been known to be the only one cracking up at stuff from time to time.
It got me thinkin' about bosses. I've had a few winners. There was the one that screamed if you used the wrong color ink in the books. Then there was the one that found the one piece of carpeting going the wrong direction when everything else was perfect. There was the one that flaked at every single chance with any and all excuses for why you didn't get paid or why there were no supplies. There were the ones that fired me right after Christmas to "go in a different direction" when I had been primed to spend years at the job. Have I ever thought about offing anyone? Nah, not really. Not for being jerky bosses. The guys in the movie had their reasons...
I can also be grateful for the good bosses that I have had. Some have actually taught me things. Passed on their experiences and made me a better person. Some are patient and flexible. Some inspire. To them I say thanks...which is good because I really don't have the money for a hitman!
that movie was hilarious!
