Untitled Post about Bossman

What a long work-from-home Friday. I can not wait until 6:00 PM comes so that I can log off of Skype and close my webmail.

Why can't Fridays ever be easy? The client sent us 9 new Chapers to translate and she can do nothing about moving our deadlines, so we are basically screwed, what else is new? I was sending out e-mails before my morning coffee. I had three conference calls with Bossman. My fingers hurt from typing up so many e-mails (notice how I won't complain about my fingers hurting from posting on SK or FB, lol).

Aixah was on her best behavior, though. As long as she was fed and changed she was happy. She basically self-entertained herself. And she wasn't even crabby, even though her first nap wasn't 3 hours long as usual. She's napping now, or at least she should be napping--I hear her playing quietly, awe.


On another note, I really have low tolerance for Bossman. He is really nice, always says 'please' and 'thank you' and 'if you could' but there's just something about him...I can't explain. But it's almost like we are related. Like he's my father. When he asks me to do something it's almost as if my father were asking me to do a chore. I do it, but I kind of make sure that he knows that I'm not too happy about it or that I don't agree. How awful of me, no? We are in an economic crisis. Thousands of people have lost their jobs. It's scary times. I should really be kissing some booty...or at least pretend to get along with him.

Can you believe that he asked me to check e-mails this weekend (gasp)..."If you could...please and thank you." Um...NO. NO WAY! I'm going away for the weekend and there is no wifi. OK, so I'm really NOT going away for the weekend, but that's not his business, right? I didn't say that. I said, "Sure, no problem. Sounds good to me." That's my phrase now, "sounds good to me," even when it doesn't sound good to me. I say it to Victor all the time.

I think I need a new phrase. Something more assertive, something like, "Sure, I can check e-mails, during my only two days of rest and relaxation. Not a problem, it sounds [insert the word of your liking here] great!"
