Boss Issues

Okay so let me tell you something about my boss.

She’s very nice and very motherly. However, like most moms, she nags a lot. She’s very workaholic. I think she never sleeps. Why? Because I receive emails, text messages and phone calls from her in the wee hours.

Her body is partly paralyzed already. She got stroked in 2009. But amidst her disabilities, she still travels the world, alone. This time she’s in Germany, the next week she’ll be in Mexico. Take note, she travels alone.

She’s one of UP’s finest social scientists until she moved to the organization where she’s the boss now and where im her… errr worker/slave.

And she works like the organization’s donor: the Japanese. She rarely takes her snack. She works overtime. She doesn’t go on leave. Rarely do I see her take a break to pee or what. She loves coke but she’s diabetic. She’s so frugal.

I work for her during summer. I committed myself to work on her projects during summer as part of my environmental advocacy. So during these times, I enjoy the sand and the sun with her phone calls and text messages. We talk over the phone more often because shes 500kms away from me. We see each other once in 4 months.

I love her. You should meet her.
