piece of work

I'm not sure what it means. My boss says it all the time.

1) He says it about attractive women.

2) He says it about a retarded guy wearing a neon yellow reflective vest and riding a tricycle on the sidewalk.

1) Wooo, look at her. She's a piece of work.

2) Look at that guy. He's a piece of work isn't he?
