Duty Calls

I suffer from what the big boss likes to call "an over-inflated sense of duty", that is I feel I have to be at work within the stipulated hours (even if I only LOOK like I'm working), and come in over holidays if necessary to make sure everything goes OK with my "babies" (the new students I'm in charge of getting here).

However, my new boss suffers from no such thing. He comes and goes as he pleases, has already left for the day and may or may not be in for the rest of the week. Nice.

He's trying to enforce his attitude on me, by insisting I take Friday off while he goes recruiting up-country. He's told me not to bother to come in. To go cheer my son's marathon (which only takes an hour and which I was planning to do anyway). He's trying to make me not come to work!

He won't have to try very hard.... :)
