The Confusion: Me And My Boss

When I take a long time to finish, I am slow. When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough. When I don't do it, I am lazy. When my boss does not do it, he is busy. When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart. When my boss does the same, he takes the initiative.
When I please my boss, I am apple polishing. When my boss pleases his boss, he is cooperating.
When I make a mistake, I am an idiot. When my boss makes a mistake, he's only human.
When I am out of the office, I am wandering around. When my boss is out of the office, he's on business.

When I am on a day off sick, I am always sick. When my boss is a day off sick, he 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 he's overworked.

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