I sometimes enjoy going to night clubs for the freedom it provides. Heart-thumping, pulse-racing, anonymous freedom. Unlike a house party or a work-sponsored event, most people at a club don’t know each other. There’s no host that will introduce you to everybody, no manager to orient you to your new environment. There are typically just small groups of 2-5 people waiting for something to happen. Will Debbie meet a charming stranger tonight? Will Donna get smashed and make a fool of herself again? Will Kirk finally get over his ex-girlfriend once he sees all the hotties?

Well, I’m back from Southeast Asia and I continue to put my life back in order. The transition from New York to California continues to be a difficult one. Car search. Job search. Girlfriend search (without a car). And no real computer. Just this ancient netbook I’m typing on that has “Leonardo waz here, 1480” scratched into the side. I left behind a great life on the East Coast. *sigh*
I’m a bit of a control freak. I always always… always and sometimes like to be in control. And the fact that I have yet to establish myself here in California is making it all the more difficult to really enjoy myself. But I do feel that this, my 5 minutes of darkness, has allowed me to make finer psychological distinctions that will lead to a more brilliant life down the road.

I once dated a girl whose emotions were as wild as the ocean. They were turbulent, fickle, uncontrollable, unpredictable. And I loved her for it… just not initially.
She was the kind of girl who showed up at your doorstep unannounced one night. And the following day, she would unexpectedly cut you out of her life. She broke up with me countless times for reasons I may never quite understand. I loved her though, so I didn’t let her go so easily. As long as my life ran smoothly, which it usually did, I found myself growing fond of her mercurial temperament.

Most of us have had the (dis)pleasure of working for someone at some point in our lives. Some people are a delight to work for and you don’t even feel like you work for them. These are the so-called good bosses.
Others make your job miserable, milking their work status in order to bleed you dry. These are the so-called douche ba—I mean, bad bosses.
Employers are rarely just one or the other; they’re usually a mix. Nonetheless, let’s look at how these prototypes handle different scenarios to see what we can learn. Though most applicable to managerial skills, with a little reflection, you’ll find that these lessons extend to your personal and even romantic life.
