It is amazing how many workplace problems erupt because people make assumptions. You can work really hard on a task, only to find out later that your boss wanted something else done.
Take the time, at least once a week, to touch base with your boss and let them know what you are working on. That way your boss feels they are in the loop and you know that you are doing the most important thing. Communication really can make life much easier.
