THE BAD BOSS CONTEST:

Most people who have a boss find that this form of life falls somewhere between the scorpion and the venomous serpent in the Great Chain of Being. The folks over at the Working America site are holding their second annual "worst boss in America" contest. Enter your story of the reptile who lords it over you and be eligible to win a week long vacation, airfare included. The contest's winner is being decided by online vote. The deadline for voting for the third two semifinalists ends on Tuesday, August 14th at 11:59 EST.

Drop on over to http://www.workingamerica.org/badboss to read the horror stories, to enter and to vote. The contest, unfortunately, seems to be open only to residents of the USA.
