I have interns at my job now. I'm in charge of people. That's pretty weird.
I never really thought I would be managing anyone. Every job I've had before offered no chance of upward momentum. Well, the grocery store did, but I hated it so much that I would rather drink bleach than be invested career-wise at County fucking Market.
Being the boss never really appealed to me, either. Most of the bosses I had were dicks. Absolute assholes. I didn't want people to hate me the way I hated these condescending, mean-spirited people that took too much pride in what they were doing. There's no way I ever wanted to be that kind of person.
In school, however, I took charge in group projects. By "took charge" I mean "did the all the difficult work". I was sure if I didn't do it, it would never get done. I knew it from experience. No one seemed to pay attention to due dates, especially in college.
And now I'm in New York and I have two people under my direction. I don't think they dislike me, though.
