BOSSES FROM HELL
The grass is always greener on the other side
SATC night (No.. not Sex and the City… it is Spinsters and the City)
Cast: Ann (Carrie), Vic (Charlotte), Paul (Miranda) and Self (Sam – I wish!)
At Kim Gary restaurant before a movie, the girls are on a complaining mode..(when are we NOT?)
Self: These days, X’mas boy is a bit edgy. He kept on insisting us to prepare report on analysis on the movement of warrants. Wtf for?? They are worthless. Imagine.. share price is only 12 sen…. What more warrants?? Always doing some ridiculous and non essential stuffs. Not value added.
Ann: Your boss is still not so bad. Guess what mine did?
Three of us: WHAT??
Ann: You know Shakespeare’s study guide book? The one with comments/reference at the side of the book? Mr R actually told poor Has to match the specific words with their meanings by highlighting and writing the meaning next to it.
Vic: Mr R is making Has to improve her English?
Ann: No…. So that Mr R could understand the entire thing with one glance without searching for its meaning on the side.
Self: Christ! He is so f*cking lazy. I thought my boss was bad enough!
Vic: There is this boss who told a fellow colleague to type the entire Bible in Microsoft Word?
Self: GOOD GOD!! They never heard of the internet? They can just download and cut and paste lah!
Paul was blissfully giggled away while all of us complained about our fate of getting bosses from hell. We cast her the puzzled look.
Paul: Mine is not so bad lah… yet!!!
Self: There is this secretarial firm in Chow Kit…
The three of them broke out in laughter.
Self: Hey.. don’t laugh. I haven't finish my story. The boss forces his staff to join his Christian Fellowship every Wednesday to stay employed. My friend resigned after 2 weeks.
Four of us shook our heads in disbelief and decided to talk about other things on a happier note… gossip about another girlfriend’s revival of a scandalous affair with a married man, after she decided to energize her working cubicle with a double happiness symbol.
I think no one could complain enough of their bosses… human can NEVER be satisfied.
Robert Kiyosaki is right. Be on the fourth quadrant: a Business Owner. You don’t have to answer to anyone, only yourself.

i am charlotte??? hahaha. i dont even watch sex n the city. anyway, so far (touch wood) my bosses are alright. but reporting to so many (3 direct and 1 indirect) is very tiring at times especially since all have different style of doing things.

That’s part and parcel of being employed I enjoy most: b*tching!

hhmm..bosses are like that everywhere but if you happen to work for an IT dept and have a male boss and he smokes, your chances are a whole lot better

Ooops. Ann and me think that Paul should be Charlotte and Vic supposed to be Miranda (without the baby).
Yeah. Life’s a bitch.
Men bosses are better? I think so. They are similar but not the same.
Eventhough my boss (man) is annoying, thank goodness he knows his limits. Nothing beats a woman bitch boss.
