Things Are Tough All Over

Y'know, I give my boss a lot of grief, but today he actually is in a tight spot and I sympathise. He basically has to take the heat for somebody else's screwup now (or more accurately, three or four different people's series of screwups) and that's never a fun position to be in.

So, in order to make his life easier, I hereby resolve to be less snarky to him today. 'cause that's the generous kind of guy I am. ;)

Aw, how sweet of you!

Bosses' jobs are hard. It's like being a cashier-- we shoulder all of the responsibility of those we work with, because we're at the front line. I may not always like my bosses, but I've learned to respect their office.

Kinda like the President. It's the hardest job in the world and some of them screw up royally, but the office of President means the individual therein still deserves some respect.

Never mind the fact that I once implicitly threatened to drive a 14", freshly sharpened blade into my boss for his own snarky comment.

*Shrugs* Good luck with your mission of less snark!

Have teh best

Umm.... but by "less snarky" what could you mean? That you'll only carry out the threats that involve sticking out your tongue and going "Nyah nyah" and not the ones involving sharp objects?
