Also try not to sigh at work because some people may look at that as disrespectful. If you seriously feel like you have too many jobs to do tell them that calmly and they should understand.
It is good to ask questions but don't ask stupid questions. My mother used to own a pizza restaurant and she always got really annoyed when the staff asked a lot of stupid questions. So ask questions but try to make them concise and use your common sense a bit. Remember that your boss is busy also and a lot of silly questions will probably get on their nerves.
As for being nervous around your boss, just try to act casual with him. Crack a few jokes every now and then, tell some stories when it is not busy. Just make him feel comfortable.
I hope that helps a bit.
Cheers

Ok thanks for your comment.
I do tell them that I understand that I do sigh and have told them that I do have several tasks as is, they think that I am nervous because of that apparently.
Also I didn't make it clear that my manager and sous chef/supervisor are two different people.
I am not nervous around my boss that much. Though I ask questions quite often because I have a hearing disability; many times words don't register clearly so I need to repeat. I have explained this to my manager before and he still doesn't seem to understand what I had told him.
He seems to get nervous around me. I do act normal most of the time; I get worn out at the end of the day most days and don't have much to say. I just get my work done. It's do to my disability and plus I know it's normal not knowing what to respond back all the time. Though I talk to him about things that are going on and he doesn't say much back in the first place and I ask him about his day or whatever. I think I need to realize it's not just me.
I plan on asking him first about me asking questions and then explain I need to understand clearly and that I had discussed it with him before.
