Perform work related tasks off the clock? Are you crazy???

My boss actually told me to perform a few completely work related tasks OFF the clock.

Then my boss told me to do some random task for him and use my PERSONAL cell phone to make the call instead of the office phone. I don't think so!

Then, my boss got all upset at me when I checked my personal email while I was on the clock.

BUT.....funny thing, I use my own PERSONAL lap top computer to run my boss's business and do my daily work.

So, its ok for me to work OFF the clock, its ok for me to use my personal cell phone to make business calls but its NOT ok for me to use my personal computer to check my personal email while im on the clock.

Does this make sense to anyone???

My boss makes lists and lists of things for me to do on a weekly basis but then he'll give me tasks to complete that are NOT on the list, about 30min before I'm scheduled to go home for the day. Obviously Im not able to finish everything he commands me to do.

The next day, he'll have a typed out list of everything I forgot to do the day before, sitting in my box for me to look at. Its horrible. I feel like a child being punished by a teacher at school or something.

Its just so rude and insensative. He'll include little snippets of things I "forgot" to do 3 weeks ago and will compile them on 1 list so I can see everything accrue. Its demeaning. If he would just STOP giving me last minute tasks demanding they have to take presidence over my regular duties, I could complete my regular duties without a hitch.....what a bitch.
