its a paradox because it is not possible for it to be the truth.

I don't think that it is a paradox. she says, "Everything I say is a lie", then, we should take that as a lie. So then NOT everything she says is a lie. However, obviously since the first statement was a lie, she must lie some of the time. So all you are left with is that she lies sometimes and does not lie at others.

That is a lie. She is your boss right? She said she would heir you, and she did. That one example proves that statement false if nothing else.

 A topic just reminded me about this. My boss asked me the other day: "Everything I say is a lie. Am I lying or telling the truth?"
She's lying, because the logical negation of "everything I say is a lie" is "at least one thing I say is not a lie," not "everything I say is not a lie." This is analogous to the following situation: "all people are male" is false, because some people are female. However the fact that "all people are male" does not mean that all people are female. So in your bosse's case, it is indeed not a paradox, because the fact that "everything I say is a lie" is, in fact, a lie, does not mean that everything she says is the truth, so it is perfectly logical that that particular statement is a lie. That said, if she had said "this particular statement is a lie," then it would indeed be a parodox. So I think I agree with you, but I thought I'd explain it anyway just to make it as clear as possible.
