Getting attractive boss agitated only leads to unemployment line

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I purposely pick fights at work with my female boss because it gets me excited. I never do anything bad enough to get myself fired, but she has a temper on her and I love it when she gets really annoyed. You see her eyes snap and she struts around the office. Everything about that excites me.

My best friend at work asked me why I don’t ask to switch departments since we clash so often, and I looked at him blankly. “Are you kidding? Don’t you love it when she gets mad?” I asked, and he thought about it and admitted she was really hot-looking when she gets angry. I guess she affects everybody that way. She wears tall boots, black clothes and looks like someone you should be calling Mistress.

I’m the youngest guy on staff and I have a lot of fantasies about her — she’s in her 30s with a boyfriend who works out. He’s older than her, at least 40. Do you think I have a chance with her someday? Some women like younger men and I’ve been working out hard at the gym, too.

Dear Hot For My Boss: Office crushes, when they are working well, cause people to get up early, dress up, and then work harder to please their boss, often resulting in promotions. You, on the other hand, antagonize your boss repeatedly to see her emotional reaction. Since she’s already got a romantic involvement going and you don’t mention her flirting with you, you’re probably on our way to getting fired.

Since this is the kind of sexual excitement you crave, you need to find a new job and an excitable girlfriend closer to your own age who enjoys playing Mistress with you.
