I <3 my Boss... also, Books
My boss is a fabulous lady. I walked into her office today to give her the forms for reimbursement for my masters classes and she just gave me this big smile. She told me she was so excited for me and that I just HAD to do this. She kept shaking her head and smiling, saying over and over how it was so cool.
Yay for lovely bosses!
On another note, I got to check out my books for my first set of classes and am actually pretty excited about them.
Organization Theory and Design is apparently all about how businesses and organizations are structured. I haven't read it yet (obviously), but it has been lauded as meshing old-school business philosophy with the newest trends in how organizations work. I have this bizarre fascination with the corporate food chain, division of labor and reporting... so this should be fun.
The other book is going to elicit one hell of a guffaw out of my boss and our staff writers. It's the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. AKA getting into the AP style of writing (the style they vehemently uphold in the office). I don't think I can really communicate just how much yelling goes on around here about AP style. The phrase, "BECAUSE THAT'S NOT AP STYLE!!!???!!!!" gets thrown around here quite a lot, especially when other people try to write their own content for our publications.
Can you tell I'm already getting super excited? Hopefully it doesn't suck. :)
On another different note... TONIGHT IS CRAB FEASTING WITH TIMMERZ. Yum! Can't wait to go and eat tons of crabs, cheesesteak and pie. Oh and GLORIOUS BEER! I even did my exermacisin' this morning, so I'm paid up!
