Carey Smith, the CEO of a company called Big Ass Fans, says, “We’re growing at 30 percent per year, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.” Obviously, he starts with the company name. He personally exemplifies that not-too- serious attitude by listing his title on his business card as Chief Big Ass.

well you are right,he should never be that stuffy,but i have another view wishing to share.i think you cannot absorb his personality .i,e.good or bad. First you should try to give yourself and also to your boss a little bit of extra time. am sure you will get able to manage his attitude easily but you need to be a little more flexible,should try to absorb more things and also should try to be emotionally intelligent.
