Your boss heard you berating him to a co-worker. What should you do?

Before we go any further, stop saying âMini Mouseâ like youâre Mini Me. Stop it. Thatâs no longer allowed in the cubicles of America.

He had some Wheaties this morning for sure. My advice... 1. Remember to have fun. 2. We're all bozos on this bus. 3. We're all barking farting chihuahuas. 4. I make shitty software and so do you. 5. It's even worse than it appears. 6. You never learn anything hanging with the same people. 7. Thank heaven for little girls. (A repeat of #6.) 8. It's later than you think. 9. It's not like anyone gets out of this alive.

Anthony Medoro had troubles with his boss. His supervisor was "dictatorial and micromanaging" and undermined his self-confidence, Medoro said. The stress was so oppressive he couldn't bear going to work.

I procrastinate. You procrastinate. We all procrastinate. Let's get back to work.

I worked for a time in the student government building. I was a shitty custodian. Every week I waxed and buffed the floors. I hated it and I hated it worse during the Winter. I could put a shine on it so glossy that you could look up women's skirts from the floor on a busy day; If you were at the right angle. Problem was, the minute there was snow outside, people would track mud and water in and grind it into my beautiful buffed floor. Then some asshole from student government would bitch about how fucked the floor looked. I couldn't mop a floor to save my ass but I could sure put a shine on the tile in the entrance. Every Saturday, I would mop the place down and then strip the old wax off with a buffer and a plastic scouring pad that went on the bottom. I knew a midget on campus and for a few bucks and a six pack, I could get him to sit on the buffer while I stripped and buffed the place. He would drink beer and read The Iliad; go figure.

Q: Is it appropriate for my boss to ask me point-blank if I'm looking for another job? I find it rather rude. I don't think this is anyone's business, especially my manager's. What's a suitable response?

I got beaten up. It was my fault. I asked for the whipping. This is how it happened:

When I suggested in a recent column that a problematic 5 percent of employees account for 75 percent of the IT support burden, I expected a wave of âright on!â letters from IT support staffers. After the column was published, the letters did come â most of them disagreeing with my premise, with one reader suggesting that the real whiner was yours truly. I still think itâs outside the realm of overextended IT departments to provide training on basic computing skills (which I defined as âmanaging and finding files, and basic working knowledge of suites such as MS Officeâ). But my thinking was adjusted a bit by the thoughtful feedback.

When it comes to the question of how executives see their bosses, most said: Anything you can do, I can do better.

I got fired from my job last night. To celebrate I threw a party where I flirted with three women and danced with two men. I then trashed my house and, in a fit of angry spite, stole my neighbor&#39;s garden gnome.

Sure, you may know the ropes better. But the boss, as they say, is still the boss.

Not exactly the things you&#39;d like your boss to be saying about you in your performance appraisal. And wouldn&#39;t it be a little embarrassing if those opinions from the boss were somehow made public
