Compare and contrast the two following reactions to much the same message, that I was upset because a friend was very ill:
1) *hugs*
2) "Life goes on"
Now guess which one was related to me *sigh*

My boss rocks.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. Thankyou. This has been a broadcast from the Pointing Out The Bleeding Obvious And I Should Have Expected This Reaction Corporation.

Story:
One day, when on my way to work, I fell off of the bus and cut my hands up quite badly on the asphalt. Picked myself up, checked that I hadn't torn my pants, and walked off, bleeding, to get my lunch from the cafe, and then continue on to work. When I got to work, I showed my boss my hands and asked for help getting the first-aid kit down. She-Boss not only got the first-aid kit down, but insisted on first-aiding me. Now, admittedly I don't need a first aid kit very often these days, and almost never without having fainted, but this was the first time someone had first-aided me without my fainting or puking since I was four. I got fussed over. And I had no idea what to do, because I'm not used to it.

But, anyway, when I need someone to act like a Mum, I can count on my boss to do it. She rocks. And, like you guys, she cares that I am in pain.

All Hail She-Boss! Hail!
