"An apple for the teacher" thingy?
I used to hate the SOB's who actually brought an apple for the teacher. One of my teachers evidently agreed with me, she castigated the poor little girl in front of the class and let us know in no uncertain terms that she could not be bribed. My respect for that teacher instantly skyrocketed.
Actually I really like my boss, and I like to bake. It's win-win!
He's a really great boss, and I'm his admin so it's different than other working relationships. I mean that an admin and their executive are a particularly close team that's different than like my boss and a lead.
Plus, I don't need to bribe him, I'm far superior than a regular admin. I have a lot more responsibilities than the other admins I know. I'm moving out of my position hopefully this time next year, and that's been known since I joined this company 2 years ago, that I would be moving out of the admin position as soon as I get my Bachelor's degree. So I've been exposed to a lot more of the program management functions than the other admins and I get other responsibilities to give me a better well-rounded experience to help me move out. (Actually my plan is to start looking at job postings in March/April 2011, I'll apply if there's something available that I want, but since I'm going to start my MBA the next fall, I'm not particularly against staying an admin for a while longer. Being an admin is pretty flexible and not very "hard." Plus the program is already dreading the day I leave.)
And at the end of the day, he puts up with my whacky behavior and sarcasm, he deserves a treat for his birthday.
My cake today was a huge hit! It was gone within an hour of me setting it out. And...OMG it was sooooo good! I got rave reviews! And my boss really liked the UT Longhorn Mr. Potato Head I got him.
