Please give advise on dealing with a micromanager?

I am overwhelmed with the experience!Please give advise on dealing with a micromanager?
We had this nerdy guy at work that was our office manager. He was a terrible micromanager type. Up in your stuff every 20 mins. We bought him a cheap trophy one year, and ripped off the label, and printed off a ';micro-manager of the year'; award. He didn't think it was funny at the time, but he came around and talked to us individually about it, and he found out we meant it as a joke, but he doesn't need to be in our face all the time. He thought it was great we tried with a joke and ended up telling him something he really needed to work on. He actually had a heart attack at age 34 a week later, and was REALLY laid back after that (doctor's orders). He just didn't know he was a micromanager and stressed so much, if you let him or her know in a nice way then they might try to change.Please give advise on dealing with a micromanager?
My suggestion is to set up regular review meetings -- e.g. once a week -- where you can methodically go through what your'e doing, what you've accomplished and what you plan and get whatever input he/she wishes to provide. Keep to that schedule and resist (refuse if necessary) to have more frequent ad hoc sessions that would allow him/her to be constantly controlling what you do. And be well prepared for the scheduled meetings, so not to provide a reason for more frequent interference. Some people just like to be in control of everything. The best you can do is minimize the amount of time you burn off in the process.
