My boss is one of the people I admire at work. He's a good guy to work for and has his head firmly on his shoulders and not at all IN anything at all. I'm utterly sincere when I say this. He's a good guy. Oh,,, while I don’t believe any of my bosses come here regularly enough to read comments I should mention that this is a joke. My boss is one of the people I admire at work.

I now do things along the lines of "these are not the droids you're looking for" for all assignments that I am given. I have submitted the same weekly TPS report for the past 3 months and he has yet to notice. Things are working our swimmingly for me. It seems the aggravation of expecting results out of Mongo when he worked for me is much less when Mongo is the one looking at me with an expectant look on his face. I can just smile like an idiot and say "Oh. You meant me? I'll get right on that." Knowing full well that I'll be able to do the exact same thing next week when he remembers to come staggering past me.

They promoted Mongo into corporate? He's like your boss now? This is why you need to write these people up for EVERYTHING! With all the crap Mongo has pulled in the time I've known you, there's no way he could've been promoted if the new owners had a record of it. Hell, I don't understand why he was even still working for you. OMFG! They promoted Mongo into corporate? He’s like your boss now?
