Deffo the current one!  Last boss was a well-meaning chap, but no backbone  - this one has stood up for me against management and won.  He is aware that I actually have a home, a partner and a life, whereas other boss seemed to think that I didn't have a partner and in fact lived in the stationery cupboard.

In quiet patches (yes, I do get them) he'll tell me to go home and do my own thing - he'd rather I was out of the office and doing something practical, than sitting in the office bored out of my brain.  He is of course working on the basis that he can call in the favour at some time, but with flexibility like that, I don't complain when he does.

In the recent spell of cold weather, he *ordered* me to leave early in the afternoon, before it got dark and the roads started to get treacherous again.  Old boss wouldn't have even thought to do that.

And he's got a great sense of humour and musical tastes to out-weird mine which he shares with me on a regular basis.  What more could a girl want?
