I Need a Hammer For My Boss

I like a hammer as my boss. Because I am not one. And sometimes a school needs one. Someone who will clamp down hard. On all of them In a fair but firm way. Also someone who depends on me To be the softy, Letting me be Myself.

I truly have to say I never like being put into any position of authority or power. I am not good at stern.

Caren, dear, you're too hard on yourself! Many misleaf people think religion and oil don't mix. Wrong! History shows they've mixing since day one; in fact, they are incestuous bedfellows. Don't call me a corageous man, I'm a history buff. Thanks doe the stop by. / M

Some bosses expect us to leave ourselves at home and don a business like persona when we get to work. They don't want us to bring our personal joys and sorrows to work with us. I know how you feel, been there and done that. God Bless, JB

My new boss said, "What do you want to do? What gives you joy? What do you NOT want to do?" I told her too, and I am REALLY really really happy with her, and her with me.
