Awkward is the perfect word for the whole National Boss Day thing. And isn’t every day Boss Day anyway?

I can’t help thinking about the birthday cake the Initech folks got for their boss and how they "sang" happy birthday to him.

Aaargh. I am a regularly recipient of gifts and cards on National Boss Day (although I fall into the middle manager category, not the real Boss category). Let me tell you, it is very awkward. It just seems so wrong.

Not only did I not buy my boss anything, I accidentally opened my car door onto his Lexus and left a little paint on the side. (Yes, it really was accidental; it was pretty windy the other day.)

Come to think of it, maybe I did give him something: the chance to reflect on the true worth of material possessions opposed to that of his relationships to others. And, as a bonus, my car was just fine.

Score one for the working man.

I always look forward to buying a new golf club for my boss on National Boss Day, the culmination of White Man History Month
