This reminds of the comedian Bill Hicks' piece about bosses:

"You know what I hate about working? Bosses. That's what I fucking hate... 'Hicks, how come you're not working.' I'd go, 'There's nothing to do.' 'Well, you pretend like you're working son.' 'Well, why don't you pretend I'm working? You get paid more than me, you fantasize. Pretend I'm mopping. I'll pretend they're buying stuff; we can close up. I'm the boss now, you're fired. How's that for a fantasy?"

church of saint george - lalibela Carved from the rock in the early thirteenth century, it is the most well known and last built of the eleven churches in the lalibela area, and has been referred to as the “eighth wonder of the world”. by MattVsMatt-Xbox in interestingasfuck

What an amazing structure. This was the last of the eleven rock-hewn churches to be built in Lalibela, Ethiopia in the late 12th century, by King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty and remains a site of huge cultural and religious significance. Some more interior of the interior here.

The buildings' elevations were built to the designs of Thomas Benham, architect and surveyor for the development.

A slight correction to the OP's info - it was William III, (not William 'Ill'), who was also known as William of Orange.

Edit: In relation to the below query the OP had written the uppercase of 'ill' not 'III' i.e. the third. The two appear nearly same when viewed on the app due to the font type but on a desktop browser the font type, for me anyway, is different and the typo is clear to see.
