POLL: Playing by boss in squash

[Patt]

I have a squash match set up for today with my boss. Not sure whether or not I should take it easy, or really bear down and try to wipe the court with him. I like him and all, but I am quite competitive, and would really not like to lose this match.

Edit: UPDATE

Well, the destruction is done. Although I thought we were of a similar level of skill, today went my way, and I played extremely well. 12 games to zero ... all games were 9-3 or 9-2.

I didn't set out to have such a lopsided victory, but all in all, any concerns I had about it were removed when he bought me lunch afterwards.

your call

Well what kind of a boss is he? If he's an asshole that likes to feel like a big man then you'd better let him win. If he's a good boss that values his company and employees then give him what you've got - he'll respect you for it.

playing squash = you lost already

Kick his ass, Seabass. I wouldn't go easy on him because he's the boss.

This is about what I'm thinking, he likes to be the big man, but also is a good boss. I'm certainly leaning towards attacking at this point.

WTF? Obviously you aren't coordinated enough to do something that requires movement beyond fingers and wrist ... squash rocks.

Alright ... we're off to play in 5 minutes. Will update after the game and have decided my course of action is to win!
