    This one sounds about perfect... are they hiring?

      Re: Is your Boss cool?

      I wonder if you rather have male or female bosses. I currently have a female boss and she is nice to work with. I wouldn't say cool because she is just too different from me (a university professor). I've never been too close to a boss. I prefer to reach the point where I can do my job without having the boss on my back.

          Re: Is your Boss cool?

          I'm my own boss currently, but I have idea wether I'll have to take up a job again with another company after september. Hope not, since all my previous bossed were fucking assholes that treated me (and the rest of the personell) like shit. In the first case I publicly told them what I thought of them (McDonalds, in front of all the customers in rush hour ), the second one would in the end not even let us have lunch (in a 6 or 8 hr working day!!), make us pay if did we did eat something and more shit like that.

          I fucking hate 'bosses' now, I'm gonna make my own fortune and nobody will tell me what to do anymore. Too few people out there that realize that with power also comes responsability. Thanks to the previous assholes I have now developed some kind of anarchistic attitude, making it pretty damn hard to keep a job. Last one I lasted 5 weeks.

                    My Boss is ok, I know more about my job than him so he pretty much leaves me alone most of the time. Plus he has another 70 staff to worry about as half of them haven't a clue what they're doing.

I'm always going to different locations and working with different photographers and directors! I love my job!!!
