So Much for Being "Boss-Free"
simplesahm | August 9, 2007 My new boss is a tyrant. She is bossy and demanding. While she stands less than four feet tall (including her piggy-tails) she is quite intimidating.
In a previous post, I talked about how much I enjoyed working from home because I enjoy being independent and "boss-free". Well, I am starting to realize that I am not actually boss-less, I simply switched from one type of boss to another.
My new boss is three years old. She tells me when I should work, and when it is time to play. The other day, she even chastised me for drinking too much coffee .."mommy, you need to drink some milk". She was right.
Don't get me wrong. I adore my boss and wouldn't change careers for anything. In fact, I started my business for her. She was an infant when I started my direct sales business. "Boy, this is easy..." I thought. I simply fed her, changed her and worked while she slept. She wasn't terribly demanding and I got a lot of work done.
Now, I find myself doing a lot of bargaining with her. "Jenna, I am going to work for an hour and then we will go to the park and play". "If you are not going to nap, you need to have some 'quiet-time' so mommy can work". My son is two and he seems to "roll with the punches" a bit more.
