The Boss is in Town
I actually like my boss he is driven, extremely smart and talented but the best word that describes him is INTENSE. He is also a Leo like me, if you believe in that sort of stuff. Not too many people like him but for some reason we jive and that is a good thing for me.
When the boss is in town even though like today I only spent a half a day with him I feel like I have been hit by a semi-truck. No, really, my eyes burn, my head hurts, my neck aches and my brain feels like it is fried. In the 3-4 hours I spent with him we did a weeks worth of developing, brain storming, trouble shooting, blah blah blah blah blah. It is quite literally non-stop. I'm taking notes, I'm listening, I'm looking, I'm multi-tasking and I am trying not to zone out. In general I am just trying to keep up. With all that said I am extremely thankful to be mentored by such a talented person. Cause Y'all, ain't nothin' better than a free edumacation.
Side Bar: This reminds me of when I was a little girl going to Catholic School. Every morning the entire school went to mass before school started and the school priest was a mean old son of a bitch (can you say that about a priest?). He would stop mass to single out students that were not looking directly at him at all times and scream at the top of his lungs, "IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!" I swear I never took my eyes off that man. And to this day you will notice if someone is talking to me they have my full undivided attention and what is probably uncomfortably direct eye contact.
I digress...
Finally! He has left the office for the day and in his wake I look at my desk and it looks like a hurricane hit it and as for me, I don't know what the hell is going on.

As always your humour is refreshing and the things a mother can learn from a blog. Now that's edumacation.

Love,
