my goodness, what a mindless question/complaint. having him around must really bust your balls, huh? say you work 30 hours/week and he's around all those 30 hours - is that any different than mostly everyone else who works full time 9-5 mon-fri with their boss for *gasp* all 40 hours/week? i don't get why it concerns you so much. maybe i am making a mountain of a molehill. and yes, if he's salaried (which most bosses are) dude could work 24 hours/day 365 days/year if he's so inclined. maybe you should get a telemarketing job at home where bosses aren't around.
