If your boss reads the forum maybe better not to post...

although this is a thread meant for minor irritations rather than industrial tribunal evidence... (I just feel like a moan, so there)

On the whole, I have a great boss - he didn't bat an eyelid when I took a 1h45 hour lunch break yesterday (Tessalicious' fault). He doesn't bear grudges if he has to tell me off (and 99.9% of the time I deserve it) and he's generous (and specific) with praise.

BUT

Every so often he feels the need for a "cleansing". No, my job description does not include administration of colonic irrigation. It's what he calls the hour-long sessions he spends going through all his in/out/pending trays, throwing some paper out, piling a larger proportion on his desk to "deal with", delegating an even larger proportion to me and the rest goes back in the trays. "Why oh why" does he feel the need for me to be sat there, basically doing SFA while he does this? It's flattering to be an inspiration and all, but an inspiration to tidy up?

What does your boss do that drives you nuts?
