I have a bipolar female boss, she can talk and BS for 15 min straight (whether you wanna hear it or not) when she is in a good mood, but if she sees someone else chatting will disrespectfully tell that person to shut up. How can I tell her without getting myself fired that we don't want to hear her exaggerated stories, and that the way she talks to her employees is not professional?

Uh... you can't? But seriously. You can't. What you CAN do, I suppose, is make such a good friend of the woman, learn to ride her moods, and then, several years from now, when you are both sharing a white wine and beet salad in some trendy restaurant that charges for water, tell her that there are times when her high good spirits can annoy her team.

Crazy people need to be corrected just like anybody else, but the guidance needs to take place in an atmosphere of love, respect and enormous tenderness. People who are incredibly insensitive to others are often those who are MOST sensitive about themselves. Go figure.

Until then, I'd say put up with the good moods, try not to feel too bad during that bad ones, and realize that these swings have NOTHING at all to do with you. If you don't take crap like this personally it tends to annoy you less.
