I miss the days of PB....and no I do
not mean Penny Byrne. PB was a boss of mine when I worked at the
unmentionable place in Logan. I woke up this morning to an email and
Facebook message that now have me in a state of panic. As I was
trying to think clearly this morning, all I could think about was how
much I missed PB. She is a straight shooter, a fiesty redhead, and I
have the utmost respect for her. I will be the first to admit that
we got off to a rocky start, but after I showed her that I wasn't
just some lazy college student we worked marvelously together.
PB isn't afraid to tell you like it is
and very rarely will she sugar coat what she has to tell you. Yes,
she will nag you to death if you aren't doing what she asked you to
do. We came to a point in our working relationship that she knew
that whatever she gave me I would finish by her deadline. She also
doesn't listen to someone's bull. She was always telling us to take
the emotion of out it and just give her the facts. I think I missed
that the most. I am an emotional person, no more than the next.
Being over here in India has its challenges in the workplace. I live
and work at the same place so it is pretty hard to keep emotion out
of it and stay with the facts.
The fact is that there are stupid and
lazy people across the world. Laziness and stupidity are not biased.
They infect every race, creed, and culture. Yes, working with these
two can drive someone insane. That's why PB was soo amazing to work
with. She had no problem telling you if you were being lazy or
stupid.
So as I read a very disappointment
email trying to figure out how what I plan B is, I found myself very
grateful for the time I had working with PB. I know that she is
enjoying retirement to its fullest. I just wish that her work ethic,
skills, and tact could be duplicated. Here's to hoping and finding
my plan B!
