- a 'special' kind of woman manager... 

The manager was giving her a disapproving look

As if she didn't have her priorities too straight,

When all she'd simply asked was to have a few

Hours off so that she could be there for her baby,

Who would be having tubes inserted in his ears

At the hospital.  For some reason, the woman

Deemed it appropriate to counsel her as to how

Very minor the procedure was, saying her child

Would be fine.  Then proceeded to tell her that an

Employee needs to be reasonable in weighing the

Reasons for an absence, and if it's really necessary.

And for some bizarre reason, as if it would support

Her argument, she relayed a story about her own

Child, and how even though he was seriously ill,

She didn't miss work for that - as if that was good.

At that point, a confirmed ass was all she could see,

And no way she'd not be with her baby, so she left.
