Y: You should always remember the bigger picture: your career, your success, your peace of mind. Your relationship with the boss is important, make it the best you humanely can.
O: Often, the boss is an ass, often the person in authority is an ass. But they hold an office and someone thought they were up to it. You may know the truth, but the truth is not always accepted by your bosses and his bosses. So do yourself a favour and respect the office even if you can't respect the officer.
U: Use your time to focus on how to do a better job; that is a better use of time than bad mouthing the boss or useless banter and argy-bargies with the boss. Do the job and forget petty grievances about the boss. Unruly ways by the boss may be the bane of your life [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but don't make them the death knell of your peace of mind and your career.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
People often believe that giving to charity means giving to some external body. That may be true but the greatest charity is forgiving and being kind to those around us, including the boss. We often think the boss has a better life than us: more money, more perks, more power. But always remember he usually has more responsibility and has to worry more. He may have work responsibilities that we don't know about or we cannot even imagine. So before you sound off to the boss, consider how you can help him/her.
BLESSING FOR GREATER ENLIGHTENMENT
B: Bosses are humans, they have feelings. Bite the bullet and think about where he is coming from when he barks his orders.
L: Learn to keep your cool even in the most trying of circumstances.
E: Express yourself calmly and wisely when speaking to bosses and superiors. Eliminate the emotion and keep to the facts.
S: Smooth relations are infinitely superior to petty squabbles and scoring points.
S: Sincere suck ups are the way to go if you want better relations with the boss.
LIFE IS NOT FAIR
Sometimes we can be so right yet so wrong. This philosophy applies in the work place. In parts of Asia, there is the belief that the Boss is always right or more accurately, The Boss always thinks he is right!
TAKE A LEAF OUT OF THE BOOKS OF LAW STUDENTS
Law students are taught that they have to respect the office of judge even if they think the judge is an ass. It will serve you well if you respect the office of boss, even if you think he is an ass. Life is not fair. Yes the boss should respect you, but often he or she does not, but if you don't respect the boss, all you will get is conflict and sometimes the boot. Therefore always try where possible to flow with your bosses' thinking.

What's Your Burka
Do you ever think about the artificial limits that individuals allow a society to put on them? Most blacks in America would agree there is a ceiling, a prejudice prism that blocks all but the color white in many business and social arenas. Women in Muslim countries suffer harshly from male dominance, and are expected to wear head scarves in Turkey and burkas in Afghanistan. Some women say, in front of their husbands, that they prefer to wear a burka to prevent ogling by men.
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but stares will never hurt you. Muffled hearing, restricted vision and poor maneuverability from the heavy hot tents are not so different than Japanese foot binding, Victorian corsets or huge powdered wigs in London. Yearning for the simplistic uniforms of Mao's China, yet?
Let's think about this in more personal terms. How do you allow others to dictate and design your short life on Earth? How far do you go in your dress to be considered good enough or deemed "appropriate?" Do you curl your eyelashes carefully and coat them with toxic tar? Do you squeeze your hard working toes into pointed high heels that cause bunions and back aches to grow? Do you take a colored piece of material and tie it intricately in a neck bulge like a turkey's wattle? Do you wear a wool blend jacket at work in the heat of summer? Surely these behaviors appear odd to all uncivilized societies.
I understand why we brush and floss our teeth after eating. Athletic shoes are a great boon to our exercise program. But society loves to dictate to others old left over behaviors that are simply ridiculous.
For example, let's say a female writer must go out on an interview. Many would agree the writer's uniform consists of pajama pants, a worn, soft, Pima cotton t-shirt, flip flops and a sweatshirt. The process of changing into a corporate person is lengthy and uncomfortable. Starting at the bottom, we begin with polished toenails hobbling in spiky heels, constrictive nylons squeezing one's blood flow to a trickle, a panty-line-free thong (what the hell!) and a skirt that requires one's knees to be glued together when bending [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], removing ones carcass from a car or sitting in a deep chair. This is an impossible task and eventually earns one the reputation of a Sharon Stone Flasher.
My Goodness! We are only dressed waist high. Continuing on, take the bra. It is not comfortable and has been indicated in breast cancer rumors. Desperately worried that our breasts will not be considered pert enough if allowed to be free, we bind them in elastic, micro fiber, and plastic. A shirt is necessary to cover up what we have just worked so hard to lift, wrap and present. Now, hang metals, trinkets and rocks from your neck, wrist, and fingers and through the punched holes in your earlobes so that you can call attention to each body part's loveliness. Next, don the jacket, just like the boys, so you can sweat, too. Add shoulder pads to improve your power statement.
Wait, you can not go out with just your face. You must paint it first. Nine layers of toxic chemicals will be sufficient: moisturizer, base, powder, shadow, eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick and gloss. Do not forget sun block. Your hair has also been cut, colored, highlighted, straightened (just in case you look too ethnic), then sprayed and glossed. Are we ready, yet?
A mist of perfume will help to mask the sweat and toxic skin cell smell. Sling a heavy cowhide sack on your shoulder [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carrying your survival equipment necessary for the next two hours [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and lift a briefcase with the other hand. Oh [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't you look burkaed.
The elaborate and often painful dress code of corporate America is archaic and punishing for females and silly sweaty for males. Would forest killing, cruel animal torturers and just plain nasty people chill with a change of wardrobe? Or too terrified that a member of the Appropriate Behavior Club might find their casual dress too sophomoric, do business persons conform and join in with scorning the hippy-type rebels who indulge in "business casual."
Tomorrow morning you will stand in the harsh light of your closet, faced with sludging your way through the ritual of looking "nice" once again? Or, perhaps, will your heart rebel as you fantasize about escaping to mountain tops, white sand beaches or a fishing boat where you are free, free to wear cotton. Choose bravely to be burkaless, if you can.
