the only way to counteract is him is to perform reverse psychology.
Step One: Develop yourself a form of 80s outerwear style. the one piece suit making you look like a flaming retarded skittle never goes wrong. Once your boss sees how "radical" you are, he'll realize you never wanted to wear FD, you just did it because the other guy did it too.
Step Two: Complain. Nothing gets your mind off the fact your job blows. Things to complain about:
1. How much your kids blow
2. How shitty the weather is
3. How shitty your mountain is
Step Three: Quit. it's not like you even enjoy teaching little kids pizza and french fry when all their drinking is hot chocolate, and complaining how cold is it on a blue bird..if those even exist where you are.
Step Four: Move out west.
