My boss rivaled the most evil being known to man today. Is it possible for men to suffer from PMS? Has he gotten laid in the last month? Why did I get the hook today? Low (wo)man on the totem pole always gets picked on when the boss wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.
I have to put up with it all because he is my mentor. A recommendation from the male version of Miranda Priestly may get Machnbyrd a promotion to assistant principal within the next year or two at a school of her choosing. You see, he has connections and high expectations for me. Direct quote: “You may hate me now, but you’ll be thanking me someday for being so tough on you.” Blah … blah … blah. To top it all off, today is St. Patrick’s Day, and I am a dean in a middle school. Dress code infractions such as green hair, hats, and rubber bands and 11-14 year old boys and girls pinching each other in inappropriate areas was the norm.
Thank God It’s Friday, and thank the administrator’s union for allowing me to take compensatory time on Monday. Look out, three-day weekend (and green beer), here I come!
