Anatomy of a boss

With the phrase ‘like a boss’ in common parlance you may be under the false impression this piece is about someone who does stuff really well (hence ‘like a boss’) when in fact in this case I’m referring to the more old school definition of someone who owns your time and tells you what to do whilst simultaneously praising your efforts to your face and taking any credit for it behind your back. You know the guy. If you’ve never worked for such a person then aren’t you just the lucky one? Anyway, you can tell he’s a boss because of his dead eyed stare, heart of ice, pockets of cash, f*!k you attitude and his legs full of bitterness and lost hope. And that’s what makes them tick.

Strabismus (or cross eyed and carefree to you and me)

Strabisums (or cross eyed and care free to you and me)

Little did I know when I started writing this post that there were so many different terms for having a squint. Call it boss eyed, wall eyed or cross eyed but it’s proper name is Strabismus. And this girl is a sufferer. But rather than get nervous and hide under her duvet whilst studiously avoiding your gaze all day she’s gone the opposite route of flaunting it and emphasising it by painting two big crosses over her eyes so she truly is cross eyed. That’s the spirit my dear. To hell with ’em all…
