My boss is having a mid life crisis

He’s 50, and his ego has become as big as the moon. He is now obsessed with his LinkedIn profile, has requested I make a Wikipedia page for him and then got angry it doesn’t appear immediately on a Google search, he is obsessed with everyone using his correct professional title (which has changed not long ago), constantly says things in line with “I have been in this field this amount of time so I know what I’m talking about”, he sends me the simplest things to do for him even when I’m on holiday (like putting a logo on a fucking letter) and demands that I respond to every email he sends me with “I’ve received your email”, he has constant mood swings (but is mostly grumpy and disrespectful), and – and this is the best – he’s recently got a geometrically abstract tattoo in a very prominent place…

This is the second boss of this age that I’ve had (read about the other one in my post here) and, really, I have no words…
