1.before you argue with your boss, check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood. if he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. even without the boss's secretary, there are keys to timing: don't approach the boss when he's on deadline; don't go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
