i don't know.. the boss told you to water the plants. you wanted to argue and question his authority. stop making things difficult for yourself and the boss and just water the damn plants. if it kills them so be it. do what you are told (within reason. not crap that is unethical or unsafe of course)...
we have a micro manager boss at work.. he always has us doing **** we think is stupid.. they pay me good money to do and follow his sometimes lame brained kooky ideas so who the hell am i to argue. :) learn to go with the flow man..
