I’m grateful for my manager…who isn’t really my “boss,” but that’s a different story. I’ve had a shit load of crappy and mediocre managers, engagement managers are even worse, so my gratitude here is noteworthy. I’m grateful I’m employable. Good manager notwithstanding, I work in a volatile business in a uncertain world. And, I’m grateful for Yelp. A great invention.
I’m grateful that I have better manners than a whole lotta people. Especially these days. I’m grateful for all the people who are working hard to help you. And, I’m grateful that my old boss finally got a new boss. He deserves it.
Today I’m grateful I was able to reconnect with a boss I worked for almost 30 years ago, and even more grateful that I was able to thank her for being such an amazingly powerful and positive influence on my life. I’m grateful for all the great bosses and clients I’ve over the past few years. (I’ve become much better at choosing them.) The life-suckers teach you self-respect and how not to make the same mistakes – and I’m grateful for those lessons – I just wish they could be a little frequent and tiresome.
