Combine that with frequent "did you get my email", "can you have 5-days worth of work done by tomorrow", "let's sit down and talk for half-an-hour now that you're all packed up and ready to leave for the day", "where are you with this since the last time I asked 15 minutes ago", etc.

This is an easy issue, but that's since I'm (like) that guy.

You have to manage him. If he sends you an email, respond. Tell him you're on it and tell him when you can get something back to him. Make time to meet with him so it's not at the end of the day. Let him know that stuff takes time to get done.

My boss is super laid back. None of my staff are superstars. I wish that they'd post here so I could counsel them.
