I have the best boss in the world.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’ve just celebrated my 3 year anniversary at my job. I see many so many threads about bosses that suck that I just had to post about my boss.

I work in a 2 person office. My boss and me. He is the best boss you can imagine.

  1. He brings me blueberry muffins every morning because he knows they’re my favorite.
  2. I have recently lost quite a bit of weight and he is so worried about me that he insists on buying me lunch every day so that he is sure I am eating (I take advantage of this by ordering jalepenos and pepperoni, which he eats willingly).
  3. Last year my dog was very sick and he had no problem with me bringing him to work with me.
  4. My daughter is always welcome when I need to bring her to work.
  5. Every once in a while I’ll arrive in the morning to find a gift certificate for my favorite restaurant with a note that says “I appreciate you.”
  6. He is currently paying for me to go to school so that I can buy the business and he can retire.
  7. I have no set number of vacation days. If I want a day off all I have to do is ask. (I never take advantage of this. In three years I have never called in sick and have never taken a whole week off in one stretch.
  8. We have so much fun when we are working together, we think alike and have the same sense of humor.

(What I want to make clear is that this man has a wife that he loves very much, is 20 years older than me and there is nothing romantic between us. It sucks that I had to even say that.)

I am posting this because he has recently become ill. I hope he will return soon since I miss our banter so much.

The greatest thing in the world is when you look forward to Monday mornings so that you can go to work.

D.B. please get well soon.

Honey.

I also have a great boss. He has a great sense of humor, is incredibly smart, and follows what ought to be Rule One of management: He praises in public and criticizes in private.

Actually I work (on a Web site) with a pretty small team of 9 people, and they’re all great. Granted, some (most) of them I would never want to hang out with socially, but in the workplace we work our asses off and generally have a well-oiled machine going. It’s satisfying and usually fun.

It’s telling that there are so few replies to this post.
