I think he likes the fact that I try to save him money. Case in point- our bike here at work has a flat. My old supervisor would have loaded it into the Prius, taken it to a shop on the other side of town, left it there for a week, and then get charged like $50. I just went to fucking Wal-Mart and bought 2 inner tubes for like $15 total.
When we need something, I shop around, instead of just buying the first thing that I find.
