Sales guys always wanted him to come on sales calls and give some shpiel but he refused because he hated most people. Half the time I'd roll up to him to chat he was asleep. Legend.

I think this is true. Worker-boss relationship in office jobs are equivalent to teenager-parent relationship. The younger generation is ahead and uses technology to their advantage.
The boss asks when you can get something done and you tell him it's complex and will take some time, maybe a couple days. You already have scripts and templates that you can set up and complete in an hour or two and bugger off the rest. The boss gets it in a day and a half instead of two and he's happy because you were fast.
