My boss is a New Hire. He joined Ma Bell about 10 years ago, straight into management. Did not work his way up from Craft. Hence does not know the system. Causes some friction, but we can deal with it. He thinks he has a sense of humor.
I shouldn't let it bother me, but it did. About the only way to get me irate is to question my technical compentence. A while back boss said I was a bad technician. I corrected him immediately, "I'm a great technician, I'm a lousy employee." He accepted the correction.
Anyhow, today is a GOOD day -- his office is dark. The other supervisor came over and explained why boss wasn't in: "He has kidney stones, is in the hospital." Instantly I respond, "Good!!"
