So there's alleviating the stress which will help that side of things, but then there's the actual source of the stress...

Others have already dealt with how to tackle the source. As for alleviating the stress, get out on a pushbike with some loud loud loud drum and bass, up the river paths, through traffic, along some trails through woods. Failing that going to the gym and smashing out 90 mins of cardio (x-trainer, punch bag, cycling etc) usually stimulates enough endorphins to pick up your mood/burn off the negative rage type energy you've got stored up.

But yeah, deal with the source dude

Turn it around and ask him to help you be better at your job. Make him part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

I tend to just walk for miles and miles and miles while listening to audio books or music. You could always start to make life hard for the boss. You can be an awkward worky ticket and still do your job effectively i'm sure .

There is a fine line to this. A colleague once went down this route and ended up on the redundancy list because of their less-than-helpful attitude, even though they still got the job done. The a-hole boss got away with it too making it doubly worse.

Cheers for the tips, wise words most of them. I applied the unwise words and adopted some self amusement, it worked for a while

Luckily for me I had a day pre-booked today and although my instinct was to go into work and have a row, I stayed at home and I think I've got things a bit more into perspective. I'm still not sure how I'll handle it tomorrow but I don't think a full on confrontation is on the cards. I'll let y'all know how I get on tomorrow. Cheers again.

He's the MD and I'm a Director. We're too long in the tooth and there are too many ego's involved for that. Good advice normally though.

Ahhhh Ego's that's the source of problem. Plus he's an idiot and I know best !
