    My current boss is by far the best one I’ve ever had.

    It’s me.

    I’ve also got a great employee. That’s me as well.

        Goes to HR:

        “My boss grabbed my dick and shook the piss out of it in the bathroom! Then he made me go into a stall and wiped my ass to check if that risky fart he had noticed earlier was indeed just a fart!”

        “No shit?”

        “None!”

        Then he sits down and makes himself an award certificate for best personal hygiene and another for most caring boss and wonders if talking to himself really means he’s crazy.

          HR: “You know what? Promotion!”

          “For me or the boss?”

          HR: “does it matter?”

        I wouldn’t know. My office moves on 4 wheels and is full of tools. She’s the one pulling the pranks on me and they’re never good - just expensive.

      I’ve heard from friends who are self employed that this is a double edged sword. When you have an employer and take vacation, it feels like you’ve earned it and are taking time off at the expense of your employer. But when you’re self employed it feels like you’re just not getting paid.

      One of my friends didn’t take any time off for something like 5 years before realizing how incredibly bad that was for him.

      Same. Technically I report to someone at the company I contract with but mostly that’s just to let them know when I’ll be in and when I won’t.
