Then what to say?

You can just say "I'm trying to figure out the XPath to hook up the XML with the Stored Procedure using Excel Macros, but the Ajax keeps throwing LAMP-like security errors – do you know how to get this right?"

If your boss doesn't leave then, he's in the wrong position and he should be doing the productive work instead of you!

And if he wonders why on earth you need Microsoft Minesweeper to solve this problem, well, you better run...

Thats not very bright thing to say good going
