Repetitive boss

Posted by: abbyalana

I have a boss that is constantly asking me the same questions over and over; sends multiple e-mails with bodies formed from "thinking out loud" and then after 5 or 6 of them sends an e-mail saying "oops" disregard the prior e-mails. I work very hard to remain neutral and continue to give the same answer when dealing with the repetitive questions; however, it makes for a frustrating day. It's hard to get my other work done when I have to stop constantly to repeat myself. All that said - does anyone have any suggestions on how I can work with/around this frustrating issue? If you are going to tell me to look for another job - I'm one up on you - I am going to meeet with a career counselor in a week to work at evaluating my current situation and perhaps move on. In the interim I want to keep my sanity...anyone?
