      A Boss, today

      Today is National Boss’ Day here in the US. Our Business Manager brought in bagels and cake for our Vice Chancellor and we all signed a nice card for her. Our Associate Vice-Chancellor is conveniently mysteriously “ill” after a late night shopping spree, and my direct boss, the Assistant Vice-Chancellor is off to Chicago and a nice long week of science and shopping on the Magnificent Mile

      So here am I chilling out in my office, listening to some choones, enjoying going through thousands of web pages and changing our domain name on every hard-coded email address (another rant for another day…), when in walks my junior programmer, a very sweet young Indian lad, and wishes me Happy Boss’ Day! Him and my other programmers are off to get Thai food for lunch and they’re gonna bring me back a doggie bag!

      You could have knocked me down with a feather! I’m a boss!

      I’ve been intelligently designed evolved…maybe I need to change the name of my blog finally…
