2. I don’t think I’ve had a bad boss
3. And thinking of my first one, Bob. He had to teach me a lot about working in an office with other people, and consideration, and attitude. He didn’t raise his voice but would correct me directly and clearly. And he always said hi in the morning.
4. I learned a lot from Bob, but wonder if he didn’t give me a special give. He had the knack for finding a misshelved book anywhere in the library. A sixth sense for it, practically. I’ve only met one other person who could do likewise on a consistent basis, and that’s me, and I must have learned it from Bob.
5. Grateful to have worked with so many people who have taught me so much.
6. Sometimes it pains me that I have repaid kindness with ingratitude, if not cruelty. Accepting the place where I was, that I didn’t know any better and to acknowledge other people’s pain. And not make it worse.
7. The things I complain about other people are present in myself.
8. And having to learn that over and over again is not the worst that can happen – if I am open to learning and changing.
9. Rule 62
