working for the man

I am sitting at my desk wondering why I work for "the man". I realize that I came into this job thinking that because it is considered "non-profit" work I thought I was not working for the man, but low and behold it is worse- I am working for the man and the WOMAN! Let me explain: I guess you come to expect from a pompous uppity man that he will make you work until your skin falls off... and then you work for someone who seems to look like you and have the same views as you, but then you realize that SHE is worse than the man. She is trying to be THE MAN and since she can never be, well because she is a WOMAN and we women know that we will NEVER "measure up to a man" esp in the eyes of an uppity one (don't get it twisted- I am a proud WOMAN and a proud LATINA at that so I know that I am just as qualified and oftentimes moreso than my male counterpart, but that is neither here not there). So, what is worse: working for the man and knowing that inevitably it will be miserable or working for the woman trying to be the man and be disappointed when you realize time and time again that she is not who you think she is? Here in lies my issue.... I have several reasons why at this point in my life I must swallow my pride and keep doing what I know I have to do- first and foremost my kids and then well how will I feed us and keep a roof over our heads if I jsut quit this job and tell them to F* themselves???? I am proudly part of a two-parent home which is unlikely in this day and age so I will not put more burden on my man then he needs by leaving a job "just because I want to kill everyone when I walk in here", but I guess until I have the opportunity to say a big F U to everyone here, I will blog away to keep my troubles at bay. (Sorry I'm a mom I'm used to making things rhyme so that my little girl will remember).
