at my job, I've gotten something like 5 bosses in one year. one of which actually has a username here. anyhow, I sent my current boss a page long run on sentence about playing hooky from work tomorrow. mentioning the simpsons and various other things. with in 20 seconds, I got an email back saying have fun.
his management style is more "you know to get your work done so I don't need to tell you that"
