You Finally Get Your Dream Job And. . .

Your boss turns out to be Hank Scorpio! What do you do? Me? Great benefits, casual atmosphere, great pay, I gotta say, boss, if you’re bent on world domination, who am I to say no?

Actually, I’ve been actively searching for a company like this.

It doesn’t bother me that my boss is bent on world domination. It bothers me that he’s also bent on dragging me along. Never accept a position from a short, intense Italian man.

My job mainly consists of telling him why he can’t do what he wants to do, and then weathering the temper tantrum afterward. Think Bill Murray in Scrooged.

I don’t imagine I’d have a problem – I tried to get work at a company that contracts out to the INS for about four months straight last year so I was actively trying to get such a job, minus the atmosphere, pay, benefits, and charismatic boss.
