You should contemplate doing this with real post its, and just leaving them about your office. Like a scavenger hunt, but not as exciting when your boss finds the last one. :/
your boss is not all that bad. mainly because i told him you wrote a post about him. and he was like "wha?" and i was like "yeah and with post its, too." and he was like "post its that i pay for?" and i was like "naw, fake ones." and he was like "well no worries then."
see?
also. i wrote this all out with your boss as a "he". sorry if he's actually a "she".
Yesterday MORNING I had six people standing at my desk all asking for something they needed RIGHT THEN. I told them they needed to leave and then I decided to take today off. That's what happens when they fuck with me in the mornings.
My current boss is awesome. My last boss reminded me of Boss Hog from Dukes of Hazard. (The fact that he rode a motorcycle made it even funnier.) I kept picturing him in a white suit with spaghetti sauce staining his mouth and chin.
Hi! I started a new blog to document my weight loss journey. Since I want to be brutally honest, I've kept it anonymous - therefore can't invite my friends to read it. I'm looking for some followers so I have a little support in this. Check out my blog if you'd like! :)
Managers are FUN!! I often have the issue of getting VERY important projects at 5:25...5 minutes before I should be in my car headed home. Nothing like getting an email at 8pm asking if it's almost done...
I tried to talk to my boss about this, and he actually gave me a 30-minute lecture on how to 'triage' tasks in order to get everything done at the same time. Meanwhile, he's in his corner office, staring at his hands and re-arranging his pencils.

bosses are douches.

I think I need this engraved on something (my forehead perhaps)
I think I'll be printing these out for my office door.
a. your boss sucks.
b. when you have a moment, this is Lewis Black's take on NyQuil...

Take one of those sticky notes, write "kick me" on it and tape it to your bosses back. Nay...his forehead.
I hate when the guys here give me 100 things to do that all need to be done right now.
ROFL!! Love your post its!
And I agree...your boss sucks!

PREACH sister! PREACH!
Wow do I not miss having a boss. Wiping asses all day is so much better. And I'm not kidding.
This is the story of my life today. I'm gonna lose it if I hear "status update" one more time.
I can't do that with my boss or she'll make me sleep on the couch.

I wish I had seen this before I turned in my resignation letter this week, in all honesty, a good F bomb would have made it so much more colorful!
This makes me glad my only boss on a day to day basis just got out of diapers and has taken to calling himself Indiana Jones.
Bosses suck.

I can't say the boss does that to me, but my mom does all the time. It drives me effing nuts!

Ugh! What a d-bag maneuver. He deserves your full range of post-it note abilities.

That is why I don't work for anyone but myself. I do the same thing as your boss but if I don't get to everything I just fire myself.
AMEN!
