That's great to hear Supernova! It makes life so much nicer when you know you have a good, supportive boss around.

I've been lucky and have definitely had some of those in my life! (I even had a boss send me home... twice.... once because I was clearly sick -- I'd been hungover the day before and my mom had b****ed me out...and the next day I was still feeling awful... so my mom said that was what I got. Boss said that was ridiculous that no one has a two-day hangover so she sent me home. my mom flipped out when I came home early, and guess what? I'd worked two days with strep throad and a temperature over 100!)
