When I Take a long time to finish, I am slow,
When my boss takes a long time, she is thorough

When I don’t do it, I am lazy,
When my boss does not do it, she is busy,

When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart,
When my boss does the same, she takes the initiative,

When I please my boss, I am apple polishing,
When my boss pleases his boss, she is cooperating,

When I make a mistake, I’ am an idiot.
When my boss makes a mistake, she’s only human.

When I am out of the office, I am wondering around.
When my boss is out of the office, she’s on business.

When I am on a day off sick, I am always sick.
When my boss is a day off sick, she must be very ill.

When I apply for leave, I must be going for an interview
When my boss applies for leave, it’s because she’s overworked

When I do good, my boss never remembers,
When I do wrong, she never forgets.
