Reasons why my boss should retire now

1. I got into trouble for being 20 minutes late this morning.
Never mind the fact that my boss is (literally) 20 mins late EVERY DAY.
But the thing is, she's always late for a good reason. Her good reasons are - she's either washing, cleaning, hanging the clothes out or walking. What. Ever.

2. I was told to "cut and paste" the press release for a major local news story destined for page 7 of this week's newspaper. "That's what I do," she said. Right, so that's how you get so many stories done each week - the PR people do them for you.

3. She used the term "cross-breeding" when referring to people of mixed Aboriginal and European heritage.

4. Everything's stessful - in fact, she made the comment the other day that she had never been more stressed in her life than she was at work right now. Riiight.....

That and the fact that she has in the past quoted herself anonymously in a story as a "concerned resident".

Dontcha just love it how the smartest, talented, most sensible and considerate people are the ones in positions of authority?

It's a messed up world we're living in.

Yep, you are probably right Jessica, mainly women, and several in those high positions in NZ have muffed it! Yes, stuffed up the organisations they are supposed to be leading, and have had to 'step down.'
