The Little Boss

For those that don't know, that's my manager at work. We're in training now, so we've been spending some quality time together. I wish I was her friend, more than her worker. She's really fun. She tells me about the things she does at home and she cracks me up.

Today at training she asked if I would consider the manager position. I told her I'd have to negotiate, and I'd think about it. I hate meetings (like everyone else), but I can be obnoxious in them for many different reasons:
a) everyone is stupid
b) nothing ever gets accomplished, so why waste my time
c) I'm not prejudiced-I hate everyone
d) I don't understand the point
e) the same things get rehashed over and over
f) no one listens to the "expert" on the subject
g) etc, etc, etc...

I don't think my coworkers are ready for me to be in meetings with them. I'm being very honest, here. They have NO idea (refer to a).

Finally, the little boss said to me "You have gotten much better at talking to and emailing people. I have to tell you, you crack me up. I can tell you that now that I'm not really your boss. I saved all the emails where you got mad at someone, and whenever I'm bored, I'll go look at them to get a laugh." I said "Really? That's funny."

I rule.
