I have just spent the last 5 hours of my work day fixing a problem that was caused by my boss doing the glad-handing 'everybody's a mate' method of billing for overdue accounts. I am so over this. Am I legally allowed to tie a pillowcase over my boss's head after having inserted a pair of explorers into his mouth? Preferably having loaded the socks with mustard. Or horseradish.

And I do the evil-dragon overdue accounts lady very well, but why should I have to? Such a waste of time.

Not a great way to stay in business is it?

Have been trying to pound this into his thicc skull for over 10 years now. Any suggestions for how to achieve a PERMANENT result? Will consider anything at this point.
