Olly olly oxen free

I have always maintained myself in a very independent way... I like being my own person and I dislike having others interfere with said person. It has been a trying week at work. The boss is visiting for a week and he tends to look over the shoulder a lot. Granted, he has every right to... it's his shop, not mine... and I am a very new employee, so there are things I can use advice on... and, it's not just me, he treats everyone equally.. ie. we all get extra attention. The difficult part for me is not so much that he's "there" constantly, but that my inner bitch does not like being told what to do. No one tells me what to do. Period. Luckily, he doesn't go from that perspective, he seems more like a football coach than a dictator. On top of it all, he had some issues and had to fire one of the other workers for going against company policies, which has stressed him out a bit. He leaves Friday and while it will be nice to have him back at his own office, I like the guy and I appreciate what he does. He seems to have taken an interest in me and wants me to do well. I think I'll aim to please. When it comes right down to it, I really like this job and all the folks I'm working with. It's hard to beat that. The day just sortof flies by as I engross myself in fixing my beautiful little Macs... they love me and I love them. I only wish people would take better care of their computers. I treat mine like gold, and seeing some come in all dirty and banged up just makes me scowl. I'm overtired and semi-delusional and I think I'll go to bed. I watched Earl and Betty tonight. What funny programs, I'll have to write something about them. Koo Koo Kachoo.
