So who's uppety in your opinion? Boss or client? My post meant client maybe isn't so uppety. LOL! Yeah, if boss is jumping around like a puppy, after 15 years, then he would like to be on same level as client. So it's him who is a wannabe, not client's fault. I find it strange, and if I was his employee, I would question, why he wants contact with staff now, not before. Go, you might enjoy, you may come back with a completely different opinion of client, you maybe pleasantly surprised, and I do think, you'll find some surprises about your boss too, (maybe not so pleasant ones.)
