You and Your Boss

For those that don't know, being the boss is a tough job. Expectations, requisitions (is that even a word?), etc. - really hard work and stuff. If you didn't already know, here's the 10 major differences between you (the worker) and your (wonderful) boss.

* When you take a long time, you're slow. When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough.

* When you don't do it, you're lazy. When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.

* When you make a mistake, you're an idiot. When your boss makes a mistake, he's only human.

* When doing something without being told, you're overstepping your authority. When your boss does the same thing, that's initiative.

* When you take a stand, you're being pig-headed. When your boss does it, he's being firm.

* When you overlooked a rule of etiquette, you're being rude. When your boss skips a few rules, he's being original.

* When you please your boss, you're arse-creeping. When your boss pleases his boss, he's being co-operative.

* When you're out of the office, you're wandering around. When your boss is out of the office, he's on business.

* When you're on a day off sick, you're always sick. When your boss has a day off sick, he must be very ill.

* When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview. When your boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked.
