Questions My Boss Has Asked Me

And this is just today.

I complain about my boss because he’s such an easy target. And I can vent here because approximately 10 people are going to skim over this and then it’s going to disappear into the ether, never to be seen again. Blogging is like writing in invisible ink.

My boss is younger than I am, but he’s completely technologically ignorant and he can’t seem to learn. He has zero patience and no qualms about imposing on anyone and everyone around him.

He’s always late, everywhere, all the time. Short of a judge having him arrested in the courtroom and taken to jail, he will never stop being late. I doubt even that would make him change.

He only cares about himself, so it never crosses his mind that he’s affecting other people’s lives and schedules. Even if he knows he’s doing this, he doesn’t care.

He brings his dog to work but won’t give her water or take her outside when she needs to go, so (of course) I take care of her. What’s one more, right? I’m going to need a bone allowance though. We’re tearing through biscuits like there’s no tomorrow.

I will grant that he’s made something of himself through sheer determination — he was born to be a lawyer. Mostly he just talks, non-stop. Why use one word when…
