I know, I know… my last post was pretty self-indulgent. I mean, most people can’t relate to such specific tales of bosses being hypocrites that have strict payment policies when they don’t have the courtesy to pay their own bills. Or bosses who manipulate and lie to their staff in order to control them. Or bosses that are too stupid to recognize that you are there to help their business, not compete with them.
As an associate my role in the dental office was always unique. I was sort of a boss and sort of not. So when it was convenient to understand the boss’s point of view, I could; and when I wanted to empathize with the employees, well, I could do that too. It was convenient in ways, and challenging in others.
I must admit that one time in the past year I thought about returning to dentistry. I would only do it on one condition though. I would consider taking a step in that direction if I not only get to be the boss, but more importantly if I get to be this boss:
Introducing Evil Crazy Bitch, DDS, my hero.
Aniston was great in that role. My son wanted her for a dentist
She just killed me. I just love that opening scene. She really doesn’t give a sh*t! Most men don’t think she’d be such a horrible boss
You always have THE BEST post titles Laura! Is the clip from “Horrible Bosses”? I haven’t seen it but I’m thinking now that I should.

Thanks, Laura! Yes, it is from that movie. I think it’s worth watching on cable. IMHO, I loved the beginning, but thought it went downhill from there.
So much to say here, I’m just gonna let it go and be appropriate. Anyway, where do I send my resume?
Ha! I’m sure I opened up a can of worms here. I loved the opening scene here where he talks about being a dentist and then it turns out he’s the assistant. There are some funny subtle dental jokes that the non-dental geek might not get that make that opening scene just brilliant. The idea of her f’ing with him so much just cracks me up. BTW– you probably know male assistants are not the norm in this field… which makes it even better. I used to joke that if I owned my own practice all of my assistants and hygienists would be ripped dudes that had to wear mesh scrub tops as part their uniforms.
I thought of you when I recently watched that movie for the first time…
I feel so honored…
Cool movie!!! Most of the bosses are same!!!
She was a real bad ass in this movie!!! But most of them are just this way!
She was so funny, and there were so many little nuances that as a dentist just killed me!
So true… hehehehe
