I mean this in the best possible way, not that you look old and weathered or anything. It's that you are SO MATURE and smart and worldly and experienced and ... well. I'm not THAT much older than you (*cough* almost a decade *cough*), and I wasn't ANYTHING like you at 24. I was a mess. A hot, immature mess.<BR/><BR/>And you are smart and brilliant and worldly and ... wow. I'm floored.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm the boss's wife in a big way here, but I've gotten used to it.

Like, whoa, she's a lawyer...with clients and everything. And that thought works both ways. When I heard that my friend who teaches 4th grade enjoys partying with her co-workers, it made me realize that my teachers were probably getting plastered on the weekends too. Except Mrs. Campbell, of course. That woman was a saint, but with better penmanship.BShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443151591518184608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-23960587505051633052008-05-16T12:41:00.000-06:002008-05-16T12:41:00.000-06:00This post is so CUTE and FUNNY and AWESOME.I total...This post is so CUTE and FUNNY and AWESOME.<BR/><BR/>I totally see my husband as a boss, but that's because he is a very BOSSY person in general.

My asst is 24 (I am 26), so even though I supervise her, we are very friendly. As we've gotten closer to me leaving, our relationship has gotten more friends and less boss. Which, I like!<BR/><BR/>When I hired her, not only did I get a great employee out of the deal, I got a friend, too!<BR/><BR/>Of course, our ability to be pals stems primarily from her AWESOME, almost un-criticizable work. If I had to discipline her at all, it would put a damper in the fun. But, since she takes care of biznass, we are free to be pals.L Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852624970958809824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-51964081591169488152008-05-16T09:14:00.000-06:002008-05-16T09:14:00.000-06:00Wow, your "boss's wife" sounds a lot like Emily Gi...Wow, your "boss's wife" sounds a lot like Emily Gilmore :) I know what you mean though.
