Also, I really like my bosses. (I need the job! Ha.) But I do like them a lot. Anyway, so used something related to my mother. Thanks, MZ.

Even so I never wanted to be a boss myself--probably one of the reasons I did not want to be a classroom teacher.

Too bad. It's a great word, as is 'bossy" and "emboss." Using it could have reminded silly innocents that the power differential "disturbs" collaboration.
