Boss

Who likes their boss?

Really.

It is a very common thing to feel, almost... natural, even, to dislike your boss.

Dislike: because hate is a very strong word.

Bosses are the people who give you a lot of things to do, annoy you on your weekends, seemingly giving you too much to chew, congratulate you when you do something right for the company, and definitely ones who--supposedly--know better than you. And in that sense, you dislike them, but at the same moment, you feel certain type of respect for them. 

Couple of months ago I saw one of my teacher from high school, posted a status. I don't remember clearly what she wrote, but I got the message. The point of that status is that kids these days are very pessimistic and lazy. Not wanting to work, they use every possible excuses and means to get what they want. And she was talking more than cheating on tests in this case. For example, when a student doesn't like their school, they can simply ask their parents to move them to a better school--well, according to the student that is. Well, not the proper example of my teacher's but something of sorts.

This generation (am I included?) has become more and more MANJA.

It is an adjective in Indonesian, meaning spoiled, cry baby, et cetera. 

And this got me wondering.

Am I too, MANJA?

I complained a lot, and I mean A LOT, about my boss to my friends. And though I actually like my work environment and the work itself is actually kinda okay, I keep wondering should I quit JUST because I don't like my boss?

When I read what I wrote in the last sentence above, I thought "Well yes, what a crybaby."

But then again, I got my own story, I got my own excuses, and CARPE DIEM! 

Do I want to live everyday under the comments and order of some people who doesn't at least appreciate me decently? From the people that thought they are a learning material, and if I don't comply to them is like I'm not wanting to learn?

Is this life's so long that I feel that it is okay to live unhappy for now? The truth is, we don't know about the future. Heck, we can't even tell what we're having for later's dinner or for tomorrow's breakfast. So I guess there's no end, no conclusion to this matter.

So is this job worth living for? Is this the boss I don't mind working for if tomorrow's my last day? Is this the kind of boss I should look up to?
