Why?

It's to help reassure the ones who are petty tyrants with fragile little egos that we really, really do like them.

I know Daisy wasn't directing this at bosses here, and don't get me wrong; I've had my share of bad bosses. I'm lucky right now to have some very good ones, too. And I think Drew's a pretty good boss, too, from what I've seen.

Oh crap. And I even saw him today.

I had no idea it was Bosses Day, ND, or I totally would have gotten you somthing special. I brought your camera back after, like, a year and a half! So I was thinking about you today, at least.

Plus, I tell you all the time you're the best boss ever. And if I don't I should, 'cuz I think it all the time.

Well, if he'd stop being such an insecure, petty little tyrant, maybe his employees would actually like him, instead of just pretending...

Heh. Well don't get me wrong--I don't think you should get him a card or anything. I do think that this is an invented holiday for Hallmark. I was just defending his bossiness. Or something.

Now get back to work.

You better not be talkin' to me, buddy. You ain't the boss of me!

Yes sir. Just please don't whip me any some more.

I have strange employees.

Oh, definately not every boss. I like mine right now, so I was happy to tell them HBD!

I can see though that if you aren't particularly fond of the person who is dictating your life for at least 8 hours a day, at least 5 days a week, having to say you appreciate them is...problematic.
