Hey everyone,

Need advice. My boss, who i really hate, wants me to coem over Sunday night for the Giants game. Well, I don't want to but I couldn't think of an excuse at the time to say. I told him that I would have to let him know.

What can I say? The problem is that he lives 5 minutes from my house, so that is not an issue. Now at that point I might be a little bit tipsy...and I am afraid I might tell him off if I see him.

What should I do? What can I say?

you should go. Either it will blow up in your face or you will begin to like him. Away from work people are different and you might find something about him you like.

That is so weird. If someone asks to come over my house and they have kids I say oh man Joe Baby is coming over. Then I watch them tell me that day isn't actually good for them anyhow.

Thanks max, lol, you ####face!

Bro come on man. Relax. But seriously the JoeBaby things works.

I have this Australian Sheperd. Good dog. But he is 11 years old and he doesn't always want to listen. He sheds so we hate when he lays down on the couch. The other day I caught him on the couch and I said Tucker, get down, JoeBaby sat on that couch.

He jumped to the floor and whimpered in the corner for the rest of the day.

:bag:

any chance for a raise or promotion? if not, bring over a case of beers, get your boss totally sh*tfaced and then call an escort girl to come over pretending her car broke down. don't forget to take pictures.

Honestly... Just tell him that you are having a whole bunch of family and friends come over to your place to watch the game and you wont beable to make it to his place. But that can also back fire in ur face if he offers to come to your place and watch the game. lol.

Really, if it's your boss... You dont wanna get 2 shiit faced in front of him... You wanna have a chance of getting promotions, pay raises... You dont wanna just be "Another guy" in his eyes. Now if he wants to be ur friend and take you under his wing with the company, why not? But at the same time... If you really dont care for the guy, just let tell him that you really aint feeling all that good to go over to his place and watch the game. Keep it simple, black and white, salt and pepper... You dont have to make up some crazy reason on why u wont be making it to the game...

Is that believeable?

It's ME you lying sack of $hit, didn't you realize that I post here??? If you didn't already work in the mail room, I would demote you. Screw you, you're uninvited now.

Go. People promote their friends..not those who are most qualified.

You may not like him, but he likes you. That's a good thing....don't waste it.

Then again, there's that song...."Here's your one chance, fancy. Don't let me down.". If you go, wear loose clothes.

This is the best solution unless your job is at McDonald's or some other job you don't care about. Lil Bit Special brings up another good point - outside the office he may not be the in-office douchebag you claim him to be.

If it's a career? Go. You actually know something about football so this shouldn't be awkward like the gay guy by the coffee machine who only follows figure skating. That's why Max never got anywhere with his own boss by the way. Figure-skating-watching fairy. You guys really think he's married? Lol.

Your own solution, sadly, is the worst. He will just invite you the following week or the week after that, & if you keep coming up with last-minute excuses he'll resent you for lying to him or blowing him off in general. Unless you're a great liar (and if you need to ask advice on what lie to tell, you are not), he'll know you're full of it as soon as the words leave your lips.

Have fun watching the Giants Sunday afternoon. Freakin' brown-noser.

I have hung out with him before. He is OK to hang out with.

I just...I want to watch it alone! AND, this game is good for my fantasy league, so I need to be paying attention with my laptop and a beer.

Plus, my fiance has already agreed to get work done that she needs to take care of for nursing. So I have the whole day to myself and the TV. The fiance is going to be home, but she knows how football season is.

This is my career...but hopefully for only another year as I hope to move into design for a sports league.

I don't know what to do.

Max actually CALLED me on the phone one day when I told him his logo sucked and he told me his deepest darkest secret ever....he really DOES watch figure skating. This site is only a cover-up for his family.

This is just one game out of a 17 week schedule. Take the opportunity, and go over there to watch it with him. Ask him ahead of time if you can bring your laptop to check your fantasy stats, I bet the guy wouldn't care.

Joebaby is right also, if you do go, don't go over there drunk or on an alcohol buzz. This thing could turn out to help you alot in your career. I mean why would he even invite you in the first place if he didn't like you?
