you know, i don’t believe we have celebrated Bosses day any place i have ever worked either. i truly thought it was a hallmark holiday. it really is just an orgy of @$$kissing isn’t it?
A good boss celebrates the day by leaving his employees alone for the day. ;-)
I about freaked when I first saw that video this morning. I was still half asleep and it took a while for the good news of it to sink in.
a year or two ago, xsteen was friended by several of xshub’s employees on Facebook because she worked there for several summers. so last week xsteen said to me, you know these morons really should have thought of this before friending me, bc they had pix of themselves wearing PJs to the ofc. Someone had written on the wall, let me guess is XSHUB on vaca, and the response was you know us so well, xshub is driving xsteen down to school. Of course, we did not rat out xshub’s employees to him, but SERIOUSLY, what MORONS!
the only thing I remember about he idea of Boss’ day was it was an excuse for alcohol at lunch :)
wasn’t just about everything an excuse for alcohol at lunch though? not at my ofc it is definitely verboten, though last week when i went out with some colleagues, we did remember that back in the OLDEN days we even had alcohol at our christmas parties. i don’t think, generally speaking, that it’s a good idea during a work day, just for professionalism’s sake.
LOL....fools.....give them a way to display their stupidity and they will.
I don’t mind a drink now and then, but at lunch? never.
LOL!!! For most of the year not too many of us had to worry about too much professionalism in the office :)
A few times now.
my widdle stem cell is all grown up! sniff! ; )
it’s so funny, my oldest child is turning 21 next weekend, and that doesn’t even make me feel as old as you being the age you are now! LOL! i remember when you were just a KID! heck, dan from michigan is probably 30 by now, huh? holy crap!~
You can stop counting at 39. That’s what I did. ;)
Affirmative action for breastless Brits?
That is anathema around here. We had bran muffins and fresh fruit. I bought pizza earlier in the week because it was National Case Managers’ Recognition week and I had to make certain there was a veggie option.
Thanks guys
Yes. he’s got to be 30 or 31 now as I’m a couple of years or so older than he.
Thanks for that link - you gotta love a law firm that is supposed to be non partisan getting bitch slapped!
