I'm Bossy

How to be a Boss

1.) Wake up and have a steaming cup of Joe.

2.) Start your schweet automobile and insert Boss cd.

3.) Turn the volume up.

4.) Rock to the tunes of Lil' Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Jay Z, Drake and Beyonce.

5.) Embrace being a Boss.

If you can't tell, when I refer to 'Boss' I am clearing not referring to an authoritative position. Rather I am turning to my urban/hood side.

Boss (adj.) 1. Incredibly awesome, miraculous, great

           (n.)  2. A person who is a leader; someone who runs stuff in his/her hood or city

What brought this whole attitude change was my lovely roommate of four years, Natalie. That's the two of us just loving each other.  After jamming in the car for hours, the two of us decided we needed extra motivation to find internships/jobs. Solution? Obvi, a boss cd. Natalie came to visit this weekend and we sat down and made a "bossin" playlist to help us get in the correct mindset. Needless to say, it works! There is nothing like sitting in traffic on I-75 S jamming to "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett? And if you have forgotten the lyrics to that song, please let me remind you: "I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation (cue head banging)...."  Good times, good times.

In order to show you how well the Boss cd works, let me tell you about my day. I got a parking spot on the GOLD level. That’s the top level of parking which is normally full by 6 a.m. This girl pulled in right at 8:55 a.m. I felt like a Boss for sure.

The "Monday Blues" is always something you hear about in the work force. It's as if it's a stomach bug that just cycles around the office and makes everyone grumpy and sluggish. However, (thanks to my Boss cd) I had a great Monday. It went by very fast and I was assigned two new projects to keep me busy for the upcoming week.

I am very much enjoying my little cubicle as the weeks progress. It's like my safe little haven. Although I haven't personalized it yet, it serves as a safety zone. It's a place where I can sit back and get my work done and no one can see me/disturb me. The only drawback is that A.) I am near the water fountain so I fill my water bottle constantly. B. ) The bathroom is on the complete opposite side of the building. After a few trips to get water, I make just as many trips to the loo. This is not okay for a girl whose bladder is as tiny as a pea.

Mondays don't have to be that bad if you don't let them. Comfy desk chairs, a Boss cd, lunch with a friend (shout out to Morgan for our amazing lunch at TAP gastropub), and a cubicle haven is just what the doctor prescribed.
