Hey, I'm glad you got some useful comments out of this thread. For my part, I agree with those "tell the boss sooner than later / release it and don't worry about subrecognition" posts.

However...I'm not a PC sort of guy, honest...but I recommend not actually referring to your boss as "a doll" in any of your conversations with her. Maybe it's different where you work, maybe not. But if your workplace is like the average largish corporation in the U.S. and you yourself are not a doll, then it might be wise not to mention that aspect of your perception in the hopes of winning brownie points. Consider it a strategic decision rather than an unwelcome thrust from an overly-sensitive society.

Unless, of course, defyance is truly your modus operandi.

For further information, I refer you to this point-counterpoint article on The Onion. Make of it what you will, those jokers have their finger on the grey pulse of the U.S.
