My Boss Wrecks Head

ARGH!!! Have you ever had a boss that really gets on your nerves, so much so, you want to rip his head off!!! Well i am in that situation! He really annoys me to the brink of insanity! I don't know whether it is his incompetence, lack of communication skills or overall "him-ness" that really gets my goat! I didn't know one individual could be that annoying!!!! He is weird on sooo many levels:
1. He doesn't eat or drink all day!
2. He runs to and from work like a comic sketch - Honestly, i have witnessed and it was pathetic.
3. He thinks he's really clever (so clever i had to show him what "right click" was! - HONEST!!!!)
4. He is such a hypochondriac! He goes the docs, gets prescribed something, puts them on show on his desk (for people to ask what is wrong) then doesn't take them because of the "side effects" - is this guy for real???
5. He went off on half a day the other day because one of his fish died and he had to get "fish medicine" for the others! (and i heard him on the phone to the vets, asking whether it had side effects!) What does he think is going to happen to the fish, start to swim in circles?
6. He is such an alcoholic in denial! On his lunch hour, he "runs" to the pub by our work and has admitted that he has at least 2 pints. On an empty stomach mind!! That is about the only thing he drinks all day!
.......the list goes on......sorry i need to get this out my system!......
7. He tells us the sad ass stories about how for his tea he has 2 micro meals, then told us the other day about when he went to the supermarket, there was cheese on offer and he was going to buy it but then read the label. The label said to keep Refrigerated then eat at room temperature, so he decided not to buy it as he was confused, did he have to put it in the fridge and then take it out a few hours before he could eat it? IS THIS GUY FOR REAL??? Cheese is cheese, take it out the fridge and eat it ya DIV!
8. HE STINKS, then after lunch stinks some more, this time the smell of ALE!
9. He says before this year he had'nt been the docs or dentist in over 10 years!!! (he's making up for lost time now!)
10. He has just this minute done a demo on another member of staff showing him where the ache in his shoulder is, now he thinks it is Arthritis!!!!
Breathe, breathe.............phew.......glad it is out.
I am not usually the type to keep my mouth shut if something annoys me, but if i shouted about all of the above, i would get in serious trouble, especially with the union!!! haha

Thats good Hayley, get it all out!

He does sound like a right prat, I don't know how you deal with it

Hypochondriacts are always difficult to be around. Add an idiot and I guess you have your boss....!

Hello there! Must say Haylz, your description of your boss was relatively conservative if you ask me!! Having met the man, the legend, I'm surprised you haven't "eliminated" him yet! I've seen the run too! It's quite, quite bizarre! What's weirder though is all the running to work and no shower or even the old "whores bath"! It's smelly and wrong! Gold star for not going totally insane! Although you are a bit cuckoo! :0)
