I have a variety of bosses, basically all the partners in my practice group at the firm. One of those partners restores old rhodes, has an ecyclopedic knowledge of music, and invites me into his office to sit around and listen to records. This I like.
The other partners who work 15 hour days and lack any sense of joy, I like them less.
One of my bosses used to direct horror films. The other used to be in a boyband. The other used to go to tons of Mark Farina parties in Houstin in the early 90s where they cut the locks off warehouses and brought the generators in.
My boss paged me into his office today and asked if I could help him bring in something from his car outside. Turned out to be a leftover keg full of Spaten that was barely touched at his party over the weekend.
After everyone got over the paranoia that he was doing this as a test to see who would drink and who wouldn't, about 8 out of 10 of my coworkers eventually filled they cups up.
I do not. My boss is the only person I've ever met who is mentally incapable of multi-tasking. She literally must only do one thing at a time. The fact that she is my superior is often infuriating.
In August '04 my house burned down at midnight on a Wednesday.
At 8:00 Thursday morning the owner of the company I work for was at my house and handed me a blank check.
That's amazing.

Hey,
Actually, I like the dean of my (professional) school a lot. He's really an effable, hard-working, and highly accomplished guy. Hell, he's a down-to-earth Rhodes scholar!!! Plus, he's highly supportive of me 'cause I publish my ass off, and he knows what time it is. He's gotta keep my papes straight to keep those rival universities (e.g., Texas A&M, U. of Arizona, Tulane, Michigan State, Cornell) up off 'the kid.'
how so many people got good bosses round here? if i could get away with it my boss would get blunt traumaed the f**k up... that's my word
I'm curious to see what fields or types of businesses these bosses are from. From experience in the corporate environment there are "good" bosses (competent, personable, reasonable, sympathetic) but I still think most would toss you in front of a train if it came down to it.

Hey,
Y'all some nasty homo-erotica fetishists!!! I wonder sometimes if some of you guys are 'trapped in the closet' with Kells. You know the saying, it takes one to know one .

and i'm sure some of the people i supervise would probably like to blunt trauma my azz up too (they know better than that though), and i'd like to think i'm a pretty cool dude to work for... i just thought that disliking the boss on some level kinda came with the territory. good to see so many people here have such love for their bosses, they sound like they're good people. i would MARRY rockadel's boss.
He's alright: used to be way into Black Flag and Devo as a longhair before he donned the "electric razor at 'two' with gel" looks. I work my ass off at my job (a young guy paying dues and my own way through college), but he always has to make smarmy-ass comments about how I clean keep the warehouse and how our inventory is slightly off sometimes, due to circumstances beyond my knowledge. Deep down, I think he respects my hustle, but likes to put on that dick attitude, regardless that I am soaked in sweat by 9 in the morning from the sunrise rush.

I can't complain

well, ok my boss isn't that cool by any stretch of the imagination.
Same here. My boss is the best.
All in all they are pretty cool.

"effable" = new euphemism.
