Can a boss really interrupt a part-time contract employee’s peace and quiet at home, at 9:30 pm on a Wednesday night, to gripe about something that the boss feels was done wrong? Even when the issue can be rectified in mere minutes at the start of the next day’s business hours? Even when the “problem” creates a better, more desireable situation for that boss’ client? Evidently, she or he can. And sometimes will. I guess I just needed a reality check, huh? Yow.

Note to world: look up “work” and “life” in a dictionary. Last I checked, they weren’t the same. They weren’t even close. Could everyone please just remember that the next time there’s a “crisis” at work? Kamsa hamnida.

At least this kind of thing won’t happen when I’m the boss.
