Déjà Vu

Have you wanted to impress a boss so bad that you find yourself obsessing over your work? Work is different from class because if you work hard on a paper and know that it can still be better but are tired you start to add up the points in the class. You start to weight the costs and benefits of ending now versus putting the extra effort to get the points that you may not need.
Work is different because you see this person for more than a few hours each week. The stakes are higher. The rewards are better. When the person you respect and look up to acknowledges your work, it is such a relief. Therein lies the question.
Do you know if your boss realizes the power they have? Do they know that their words can make or break your day depending on the work you did? The real question is, will you remember these days when you are the boss and you are reviewing someone else’s work? I wonder if we will have that déjà vu moment of role reversal.
