Bosses don't like difficult

Nope. It's all about being a "team player" or having the "interpersonal" skills to make it through days of incoherent looping monologues and vague deadlines and just plain rudeness. My last boss once told me, among other nonsensical things, that it seemed like I was only doing the work that I wanted to do - however I completed every task that my boss assigned to me which was every file I worked on, every one. I never could figure that one out. 

Of course that's all in the past. I am now my own boss, I can be as difficult to my boss as I like. I only have to impress one person at a time, my client and that suits me fine. Of course starting a business in the current economy is a bit sketchy, but hey, everyone needs a crackerjack bookkeeper! I enjoy bookkeeping, I'm a big fan of organization out of chaos, turning one thing into something else - like receipts into a financial report. It's speedy work, there is very little interaction with others most of the time - not like an office when someone invariably stands at your door to chat. I'm not chatty at work. I'm social, oh sure, but work is to get done. And helping my clients learn the value of sincere brevity is fun, like a game.
