The Leaper sounds like a great boss. Intense, but great. Won't let you get away with excuses, but will help and support you even if you don't know or if you've made a mistake and take responsibility for fixing it.

This is all too rare. The most common response to "I don't know, but I will know tomorrow" seems to be "You shouldn't have known that already." Sometimes, they really are just out to get ya.

@CK: you have fallen victim to a phenomenon that is so common that it has a name: Muphry's Law. (Yes, Muphry. Look it up.) So, don't feel too bad about it. Well, you should feel a little bad, but not too bad. :-)
