It's Valentine's Day--Love Your Boss

No, I'm not saying you should MAKE love to your boss on Valentine's Day (I mean, you can if you want, but you won't get a raise, and you are probably just asking for trouble). No, what I mean is that in honor of Valentine's Day, you should try to SEE your boss as a real human being: someone with needs, problems, defects and shortcomings. In other words, someone a lot like you and me!

I'm not saying you should suck up either. I HATE suck-ups! But you can treat your boss with a little respect without sucking up. Buy him a soda for once--you big spender you! Ask him about his day. See if there is something she needs. You would appreciate it if he (for once) asked how you were (and really meant it). Right? So, return the favor ahead of time. Love your boss, in a friendly, honest, brotherly, work-mate sort of way. It can't hurt.

PS
Just let me add that a back rub on Valentine's Day IS over the line!
