a bug's life

my boss is being a bug. he has been a major pain these past few days. and today, he chose to pick on me. woohoo. of course, being the hardliner that i am, i won't let him talk me down. so i supplied him with level-headed, logical answers to his out-of-line comments. and i think my strong attitude gets on his nerves and fires him up even more. he hates being wrong. nay, he is NEVER wrong (he thinks he's infalliable like god), so when someone says something that suggests the contrary, his temper flares. what a very down-to-earth, respectable boss i have. oh, and did i mention what i think of his maturity level?

amazingly, though, i didn't get upset. i just let his irrational comments slide off my back. after a few minutes i even found it quite amusing. he has no idea what he's talking about. it's just his pride talking, actually. so i sit and do my work with a self-satisfied smirk on my face. actually, it wasn't even a smug look... it was just genuine amusement. i found it funny that he gets so worked up over my "errors" and "inefficiency" when in fact it's his instructions that makes things complicated. there's only one word i can use in these situations. one word which i wish i can say to his face. DURR.

i just hope i don't turn out like he did. or i might as well just quit right now. would rather be amused at stressful situations than be stressed.

unfortunately, his weird behavior still manages to irk me. but just a tad. let's hope it stays that way. i don't want to become a bug.
