For some reason, my boss has decided he needs to get in a pissing contest with me.

He got injured. Ruptured his Achilles tendon and needed surgery, which basically meant I was doing his job since mid November. There was praise and thanks and much, "What would we do without you?"

It was hard work, doing his and my own, but I stepped up and I can

To me, what you describe sounds like the boss feels insecure. The farm did okay without him, and while he's glad of that on the surface, subconsciously maybe he feels as though he's redundant or worth less because he wasn't needed when he was out.

I agree, absolutely. The thing is, he's got nothing to worry about because every decision is ultimately his. I guess I have a problem with it because it seems like macho posing to make sure I know my place.

He'll get over it soon, I hope. He's usually the best boss in the world, so I can ride the rough for a while.

I hope so too. I hope it works out :)
