Crazy boss anyone?
Answer:
Try rigging the stapler to mis-staple every time and Always use the "little" paperclip, wear an extra squirt of perfume and hide the soap in the office! You may be able to cause her to have a nervous breakdown!!
Bring The Doors album to work and play people are strange when she's around. That's psycho stuff there.

3 letters to describe your boss's characters: OCD..meaning Obsessive Compulsive Disorder..good luck working for her, try writing her an anonymous letter to go see a shrink or something, with the reasons of course.
the hag is nuts,staple her to a wall
She's a control-freak.
U come across them every now & then.
U have 2 decide can U live with the demanding nature or not.
U only have 2 work with her, 6-10 hours a day, wonder how the poor people who live with her feel?
U get 2 go home & get a break from it.
Approach/handle with caution & remember, it's just a pay-check at the end of the day.
Can U go with the flow 4 the sake of UR wages?
Sounds like she has a SEVERE case of OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Order is common, I think, among highly driven people. Tell her they have medication for that now (my favorite line to a superior) and start looking for another position. She will drive you CRAZY.
Sounds as she has little power, maybe in her home life, or maybe in the company. Therefore she will continue to make life miserable for those around her , this is her manner of exerting some manner of power, and it will continue to be useless, disruptive and aggravating. Sorry.
Just some harmless whims and fancies of the boss. Not to worry as long as they remain harmless, give her due privilege until then. After all, during breaks, you will have amusing "talking points" to share with your equal colleagues, about individual experiences with the boss! But, take care, not to let her exceed limits of harmlessness.
I would like to encourage you that some of the things are her personal issues like washing hands, let her be herself. If she really allergic to perfume, than put on not so strong perfume. As for stapling part, I think she is wise.
Good points we learn, and we learn from one another. I hope you don't take it too hard, after all she is not the one who gets hurt; as times come you may feel angry over little things. This will not be good for your heart and you won't perform well in your job. So in the end, you will be in the losing end.
May the love of Christ bless you and boss that both of you can work together and encourage one another, amen!
I hate to say this but just because your boss is a certain way doesn't neccessarily mean she's "crazy". Maybe a little on the compulsive side but you'd be surprised just how many folks are allergic to perfumes. Depending on the scent of it, for some it causes asthma attacks and for others just a sneezing fit or a bad headache. Try wearing something that's not quite so strong or not "floral" (Floral perfumes have the tendancy to give horrible headaches/ashtma attacks). I am the same way.there's only 2 perfumes in this world I can actually handle and they're not floral or strong. I wear them myself but only rarely. If my allergies are flared up I don't dare wear it.
As for staples not going through the paper. there's NOTHING you can do about that except say "that's life!" Because sometimes things are not going to go exactly the way we want them to go. She'll get over it so don't let it get to you. As far as the paper clip.just kind of casually ask in a really nice way. why it's important to use the big paper clip for 2 pages rather than the small one? Show her how it would be "COST EFFICIENT" to use the bigger paper clips for the big piles of paper and the small ones for 2 or 3 pages, etc.
As far as the washing of hands.she could be just one of those that feels her soap is better than the one in the ladies' room or she's afraid to touch the one in the ladies' room (that compulsive thing again).
It's not that the person's crazy.it usually deals with some experience or how they were raised. Respect her for the person she is. If she's making you that miserable then find another job..otherwise just shrug it off and realize it's not about you..it's her. She'll get over it.
In the mean time.. maybe hang in there a little longer and check out http://www.mywayoutonline.com/ (access code 108306) looking into bringing extra residual income to replace what you're making now in the next 24-36 months.Robert Kiyosaki's book "The Business School" (from rich dad poor dad series) says it's the best way to get yourself on the other side of the cash flow quadrant .
You never know what you're looking for til you find it! :)
Good luck!
