I miss the days of PB.......

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!
