I've recently started a new job. My new boss is lovely but he's an organisational nightmare and talks incessantly. I, on the other hand, am a complete control freak and know where I am up to on every single project I am up to. Much as I like to talk, I am quiet and tend to 'just get on with it'.
My boss seems incapable of using email and, despite having a daily meeting, constantly interrupts me during the day very often shouting out from his office. If I send him an email he either doesn't answer it or shouts out the answer about 20 minutes later. If I ask him a question verbally I more often that not get an answer which turns into a related story about his sister's dog's vet's brother's relationship with the woman down the road who had a wooden leg. You get the picture...
He is driving me to distraction and a couple of times today I just cut him dead. I know it's not the solution and I normally pride myself on how I deal with people at work, however, I am just stumped with him.
Does anyone have any great suggestions? This is a contract so I fear I may not be staying very long at the moment...
