An Ode to My Boss

Of course this post is dedicated to my boss here at my new employment.

When I got interviewed here, the HR's warning is she's english speaking. I didn't mind because I can speak the language.. hahah... My first thought when I met her? She's so pretty (pretty for a mid-30's). She's like the mestiza espanola type. She has this deep voice which I love to imitate. She loves to wear cargo pants and wegde shoes and sandals (we wear casual clothes at work).

As for work, I've never seen a boss as dedicated as her. A real workaholic... she would send us emails during unimaginable hours like 2am and a follow up at around 5am and still be at work at 9am. She's got loads of work... as in. She's got a family with 2 kids. The whiteboard in her office is crowded with job assignments and other doodles on things to do and stuff.

She would grind us to work hard. We all laugh when we hear her favorite expressions, "Mama Mia" and "You're dead!". A true professional, she never mixes whatever we've done at work with her personal relationships with us. I can attest to that... In the span of less than 2 months, I must admit that there are lots to learn and do and yet the deadlines don't budge. I've committed a lot of mistakes and even got 'roasted' yesterday. After all of those, it's empowering to hear from her, "Rach, I'll see you tomorrow." -- with a smile.

*sigh*... I guess it's really a working day for me tomorrow.
