When my boss does that, I say “boss, I have 5 urgent things on my desk. What’s the most urgent.” And then I say “boss, I have 4 urgent things on my desk, what’s the most urgent?” and so on.
I do this when he starts in with "Let me know if you can't get this done today" at 4:30. But usually his "urgent" means nothing, so I don't sweat it and do what I want. And then he gets worked up. And I can't see the computer screen anymore due to eyerolling.

I am, but am only grabbing a quick lunch on the mall. Catching up with Days of Our Lab gossip.

I actually like it when a hot guy walks in and out, because you can just imagine your fabulous life together (or whatever), without any of the nasty reality, like maybe you wouldn't like his personality after more than 5 minutes.
