a tribute to potatoes
Why I think a sack of potatoes makes a better boss than my current department head :
- It will not ask me stupid questions at the end of my presentations like “Why didn’t you foresee those problems coming etc etc ?” - which, I’ll have to explain that I’m not somekind of wizard that could predict the future and expect the unexpected.
- A sack of potatoes may be as dumb as my department head (sometimes smarter), but at least it’s quiet and doesn’t try to act smart in front of us.
- I will not lose my job if I punch a bag of potatoes.
- A lot of people like potatoes. But very few people (or no-one) like my department head.
- Potassium inside potatoes is good for our nerve functions. The shits inside my department head is good for nothing.
- A sack of potatoes will not send me emails asking me questions that requires ‘urgent’ response (hint: cellphone).
- A sack of potatoes will not call me on my cellphone even if it’s the most urgent of matters. They just don’t give a fuck.
- A sack of potatoes doesn’t have halitosis.
- A potato have dysfunctional eyes that sees nothing. My department head have dysfunctional eyes that sees none of my strength and all of my negative traits.
- I will not feel embarassed to bring a sack of potatoes to a cross functional meeting because I know it will remain quiet throughout the meeting without making an ass out of itself.
- If I ever got pissed and boil that sack of potatoes with hot water, I’ll get rich carbohydrate food out of it. If I boil my department head, I lose my future and freedom.
Life is like a volume of water. It pretty much becomes of what it flows into. Mine had just spilled onto a pile of dirt.
I’m now working temporary as it’s semester break.
So, in my case, potatoes make better colleagues, especially those Malays colleagues cos :
1) They won’t question my work whereas their works are worse than mine.
2) They will mind their own business.
3) They will keep their mouth shut & don’t act as if they r smarter than i.
4) They won’t apple-polishing the branch officers & managers.
5) Whenever i feel angry, i can give these potatoes to my mum & cook for my whole family.
6) And most importantly, i can replace them anytime if i find they are eyesores to me.
7) There are 1001 more reasons.
i think there are dozens of people out there who are not satisfied with their bosses…
well i just need to say…i am lucky for i have the best bosses in the office
the rest of the dept head sucks…but mine rocks!
hope i never have to go through what ever you are facing now in future….
get a new job and new life….
…or a couch potato and binge out for a while. :O
This is hilarious. Hopefully your dept head doesn’t read blogs =D
