I can't stand my boss

I work for a small company and currently I am the only one in my office all day. My boss comes in now and then for whatever reason. The only day he needs to come in is Friday to pay me. Anyways he is always trying to pry into my personal business. Asking personal questions. He asks how are you feeling. I say ok I guess.. then I tell him for example my foot is bothering me, I'm a diabetic with no insurance and so here he goes acting like a doctor and telling me what to do.But never says we should get insurance. If it was anyone else I would think he was trying to help but he is not. I watch how he treats he customers and how non chalant he is about his business and I am sure he doesn't give a damn about me. So why in the hell does this man pry? Old employees told me he talks crap behind my back and I have told him I know this...without telling him how. of course he denied it but in either case I am not at work for 21 questions about me. I am currently looking for another job cuz I can't even stand to see him. What is your opinion?

Maybe everything has two sides and the world is not perfect.In the real world ,we do have this and that problem,and I think the most important thing we should do is to adjust ourselves both physically and mentally,not just keeping complaining.Be more optimistic ,smile and the world will smile with u.

Do you like the job? Is it good money? If it is, and your only complaint is the Boss, I'd say your a bit Picky! Good jobs are hard to come by.So, hes asking about your health? Whats wrong with that? The guy is concerned about you, thats all,Hes being polite. If you think hes Prying, why tell him anything? Make a joke of it, and notice his reaction. Be polite to him but say something like,"Well i'm not really sure", or "it could be true!" Speak in generalities. never say anything for sure! So, why not relax and see the Good Side of It! Every cloud has a Silver lining..All you have to do is look for it!
