If it really is just a case of the cupboards being moved, then I would have those moved as soon as you are able to arrange it.

The other ways round this is to:

1. nly to see Bossie at fixed times each day to deliver messages and deliver/collect work (this worked well for me with my first boss in my present job)
2. have Bossie come to you (this method also worked well for me in my very first admin post.  I had three Bossies and trained them to collect messages from my desk)
3. have a sliding sign with "engaged" on Bossie's door to indicate when he is not to be disturbed.  It might look a little like a meeting-room sign, but would alleviate the chance of you being half-way through his door before noticing that he has someone with him.

As for embarrassment and apologies etc, don't go there; you are Bossie's admin support and you have a right to be there.  With respect to dirty looks - these are not allowed in my office, neither are bad temper and growliness and such anti-social behaviours should be trained out of Bossie immediately if not sooner.

Best wishes,
