Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is fantastic. I think it's the best piece of yours that I have ever read. I especially liked being reminded that we all had three fairy godmothers' wishes at birth (I'd forgotten that) but then you taking the consequences into the work world was stellar. Kate xx

And then the boss who doesn't want to be a boss but pretends they are in charge and doing all the work. Your humor was perfect, Iza and I enjoyed your post.
Hugs, Carol

Your story here illustrates the micromanager, the boss who can't help himself looking over your shoulder every five minutes and making sure the element of control is always present. estory

You are so right:) how can we be productive with such a nuisance?
Comment from Judy Lawless
This is an interesting entry into this contest, Iza. I can relate to much of this. My female boss expected me to know where she was and when she'd be back, even when she took her calendar with her. Lol. Good luck in the contest.

I've heard that female bosses are the worst, but not from men, more from women, but I've mostly had good bosses in my life, a few not so nice. But most of my life I was my own boss. Beautifully written Iza, blessings Roy
Typo : (Sha) said it as (a) joke. She?

Well done
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a good job, Iza, with your contest entry. I like the way you used examples from your past work experience to support the ineptness of some bosses. Your title and picture set the tome to your work. I know what you mean about women bosses
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan
May I suggest ~
I must [ have been born ] be born under a missing-in-action star. Probably(,) one of the damn fairy godmothers for fun said: "and shall never have a boss that she will love to work with!" Sha[ She ] said it as joke, but I am swimming through the consequences! Probably(,) the other two jumped to correct the fall... and made it worse!
Man, it must be tiring to be right all the time and speak [delete up ] up your mind.
I wish that I had ten fairy godmothers instead of three, so at least one of them could put me back on track and wish me something
normal? [ period not ? ]
Every time I like my boss(,)somebody else jumps in and knocks me over from my fairy land.
The idiot that [who ] thinks it's a[ Shepard ] Shepherd, pardon me a leader, and leads the ship. As soon,[ no comma ] as you start to work on your task, she is behind your back executing a perfect cheerleading number:
Maybe if you let me work without chanting in my ear(,) I will, but since you stick at my throat like a leech, this shit is going to take much, much longer.
She is there to drink[ delete up ] up your blood and drive you insane. If you dare to ask for something, she will tell you that "I have to check the budget for this year." Well it's been a year, and she is still... checking! Well, we have not specify [ specified ] which year, so there is still time for that.
My new boss it's[ is ] a dumb ass, who thinks if the company she worked for was doing scanning for the provincial government,[ period after government then new sentence with capital letter ] it makes her an expert in electronic content management.
Wait, she was the chief in charge of operation [ add s to operation ]. Has anyone heard records management anywhere? The worst part is [ delete that ] that she thinks that [ delete that ] she is a leader because there were thousands of employees working for the government where her company was doing scanning, which she never met. I'm a scan man, or in her case scam man!
Madam Char, aka HR,the [ add space after , ] job was requiring somebody with IT skills, you know programing, COBIT reporting, cyber risk and security, and they choose la cream de la cream: dumb ass that thinks that scanning stands for electronic records.
Every time I talk to her, I see her eyes widen and that's all! Nothing goes through! How can I fake ;delete that ] that I am impressed when I am
not. ( ? ) I just feel like I am talking to a puppet.
[ add beginning quotes here "God ]God, please, if you have any spare fairy godmother, please let me borrow one. I need a simple wish: "and she shall be invisible, but still have the means to live. Her bosses will leave her to her own devices! Amen!" [delete quotes around and she shall be invisible. ]
This is my story, and I am sure it might be yours too. People with power and no intelect, [ intellect ] are washing the floors with the ones that were ejected from fairyland at the wrong time and the wronf [ wrong ] place.

Iza, I guess you tell like it is.... You have more vim and vigor than anyone I know. I've been in situation which you have described. So, the f word, well, is not used too much here.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry. I think all of us have been there. In the teaching field, they have teachers spending time doing reports instead of actually working with children. Good luck with the contest.
Sha said it as joke, but I am swimming through (She??)
I feel like that idiot that caught the golden fish: (idiot WHO)
The worst part is that she thinks that she is a leader because (you can omit both 'that')
and they choose la cream de la cream: dumb ass that thinks that scanning (dumb ass WHO)
How can I fake that I am impressed when I am not. (omit 'that' & end it with a question mark, not a period)
are washing the floors with the ones that were ejected from (ones WHO)

A tour de force of satire in wry humor--funny, not funny--I'm with you--leave me alone and let me do my work--I loathe meetings and group projects. You nailed the sundry bosses from hell.
