So I know a lot of people talk bad about their bosses, it's almost a reputation it seems, that bosses must be nasty.

Well, for me, that's not the case.  I've got to say, I couldn't have asked for a better boss than the one I have now.  One of my co-workers talks bad about him, but honestly, she starts everything first, then flips it around and turns it against him in some odd way, trying to make him look bad.  

He's caring, he actually -care-s about each employee (granted we're a very small vet clinic, only about 10 people or so, but still...).  He's one of those people who still -cares- about the animals and not just the money.  

And he knows me. He doesn't know I'm an Aspie, as since it's not official yet I haven't announced it at work yet (though I feel it'd be easily accepted, that's just the kind of people we are there). He knows I hate working reception, and last week I had to work reception ALL AFTERNOON.  Then after my shift was over, he came up to me and said "You know, you did a good job up there, but I swear, I'll try to never make you work a full reception shift again."  I'm just so thankful for that.  In fact, he gave me a raise that day (out of nowhere, I -just- got one 2 months ago, now I got another one...I'm puzzled, to say the least), and 3 days later he hired a new person to work reception.  Hes truly a man of his wordSmile

Sometimes I even think he may be an Aspie himself, the way he acts, or the things he says sometimes.  He and I probably get along best out of all the employees.  I'm happy to have been at a place like this, where I fit well, with pople i can get along with, for 2 yearsSmile
wow - you get to work in a vet clinic. I suppose your boss is the vet. Loving animals gives a good indication of someones character.

Lucky You!!!
Glad to hear it.  :-)

I've got a good boss too.  I was counting my blessings for that just last night. Unfortunately he works for a guy who, upon the first day of meeting me told me he thought my job was an unnecessary postion in the company.  My job is technical and not his area of expertise so he doesn't understand it.  Very nice to have a buffer of a good boss (who understands what I do) between me and the bad boss. Sure makes a difference in general anxiety levels doesnt it?

Most definitely

You're lucky indeed to have found a great job with great people, especially your boss.  Not so many people are happy with their jobs and not so many bosses are as nice as your boss.  Smile
