What you need to know is that my boss has the focus of, I dunno... refracted light. Finishing a project is near impossible when I can't get him to finish a complete thought. Sometimes he'll start assigning me a project and then get so lost in his own tangents that he'll walk away before he's described what he actually needs... then ask me where the project is or why it's not done at some random time usually 3 - 6 weeks later. Today I told him "...if you do that one more time, I WILL BURST INTO FLAMES!"
The lesson I am currently learning...
It is incredibly difficult to work for someone you don't respect. It is also very difficult to respect someone who has no respect for others.
Yes, I know that I should "be the change I want to see in the world." Set the example even if you are the only one in the office following it. I have fallen into lazy and bad work habits because I lack respect for the man who runs things. Time to whip myself back into shape and not accept anything less than absolute professionalism from those around me.
