Lucked Out

Many people despise their boss. They dred going to work and when they do go, watching the clock tic becomes a second nature act. Its torture, as if they're dying a slow death. This is not the case for me. 

I actually really enjoy both my jobs--and the fabulous bosses that come along with the packaged deal! My first job, the one I had the longest, is a coordinator for a non-profit. It's mainly assisting with the planning of events and office tasks. I work right underneath my boss, and she is wonderful. Just two years older than me, she has to be the most silliest, down-to-earth, yet understanding and sincere person I've ever met in my life. She actually understands that every now and then I'm going to be running late.  She also grasps ahold of the inevitable; there are times when I'm going to get sick. Most importantly, she just..., well, "gets it." I'm taking six courses this semester, so, ever so often, I may need a day off to study for tests and exams--she totally understands this. Because of our busy schedules, it's easiest for us to communicate through text messages--it's the coolest thing ever. At the other job, when I introduced her to my friends and co workers they A. Didn't believe that she was really my boss because she looks so young, and B. Saw how we interacted and told me they were jealous because it seems like I "have it soo good." She's amazing, so, yup, I guess I do have it pretty darn good. 

 And that's just the beginning...

Boss number two is just a complete walking bag of laughs! He kids and jokes around all the time. Oh, so,  my second job, my new found position, is hostessing/bartending at a booming upscale restaurant/bar/lounge. It's one on of the best positions I've ever had. I'm only there on weekends, and when I am there, it's as if I'm hanging out with friends, rather than being at work. My job hosted a huge birthday bash for a few celebrities, and my boss and I were dancing and taking pictures together. That says it all, huh. We literally joke and laugh all the time. That doesn't go to say that he never goes into "boss" mode (Same for boss above :)). I've see him fire people on the spot and send people home. But me? He says I always do a great job, so he never has anything negative to say about me. When guys try to hit on me, he tells them that they're not allowed, because I'm his prized possession. It's the funniest thing. 

I lucked out and found two great positions, making decent money, while having tons of fun working with my co-workers and bosses. Now...how many people can say that?!
