Actually when the boss is gone we all get lots of work done.

When he's in the office he runs around like a chicken with his head cut off, making stupid rash decisions and yanking us all in 5 different directions at once all the while fretting about having to lay everyone off one second and wondering if we should add staff the next.

I work for an idiot. An idiot with a serious bi-polar disorder that he medicates with scotch.

Thankfully he's rarely in the office for an entire day (spends a lot of time on the road delivering our product because he thinks its cheaper for him to do it than to hire delivery drivers, even though he sometimes wastes more money on the road than he makes) but at least he leaves most of us alone and we can ignore whatever stupidity he last dumped on us and get some real work done.

I'm so glad I took this week off.
