Bob is incompetent, overweight, unattractive, uncouth, socially awkward, and generally, not a very nice person at all. For a while, we were convinced that Bob had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. But then, something happened — Bob stopped showing up for work on a regular basis. Sometimes he wouldn’t even bother explaining his absence, acting as if spontaneous five-day weekends were simply the norm. And that is how everyone came to wonder — where is Bob?

He kept referring to his significant other as "my Italian wife.." and mentioned her throughout the day. When we met her it was painfully obvious she was mail order.

For example, sectorize it : helath related, car related, family related etc... Have fun ! my "manager" is also dumb and don't 'work. He just hang around and drink coffee, smoke, and create a refuge in his office. You should organise some gambling at work to find what would be the new story taht he created.

He would always have some regional treat for us - maple candy, chocolate lobsters, a large print of a Cape Cod lighthouse for the office wall." kind of makes Bob sound like a cool guy, and the sort of boss I wish I had. Think about it. If begging off for long weekends was the extent of his bad behavior, he'd be a great boss: stays out of your hair, brings presents, etc. A good way to act, if it's not accompanied by all the other stuff. Context is everything. The funny thing is, this bit:
