Management material

I'm currently looking for a new assistant at work, having proved somewhat incapable of hanging on to one for more than a few months at a time. During a meeting yesterday i was describing my ideal candidate, trying to be diplomatic before getting to the crux of the matter and passionately declaring, "i just want someone exactly like me, can that be so hard?!". In that one moment, i instantly became the sort of person i've had the misfortune to work under on several occasions throughout my long and nondescript career to date. The look on my colleague's face more than confirmed it. If i can master the art of avoiding a straight answer and churning management buzz phrases out in response to every simple request, the boy could go far. In the meantime, i'm considering getting the word "cock" tattooed backwards across my forehead to remind myself each time i look in the mirror. Just in case it's not too late.
