Due to the economy, poverty, and confusion about what I want to do wtih my life - I accepted a job which I am completely overlyqualified for.
I do basic level admin work --- because I don't know what else to do, frankly and its a safe, convenient job with decent benefits. The pro-s outway the cons....well, accept one big con -

My boss makes my life a living hell. See, she is a miserable person and takes it out on everyone else in any way that she can --- she has obvious issues and micromanages, controls, bullies, plays games, etc...she is toxic. She lies. She does anything she can to exploit people. She is a scrooge. Her mere presence makes me want to run, self-sabatoge, and just hide in bed rather than deal with her misery on a daily basis. Its a completely different job when she isn't here.

One day she threw a fit at my coworker over the fact that she basically coudln't control what was bought for an office birthday celebration. She threw a FIT over cake and fruit. I complained to my union rep that she was unprofessional and I felt really intimidated that she reemed out my coworker right next to me out in the open --especially over something so critical. What was done ---? 2 days later my boss wrote ME up for "scanning documents crooked."

And no -- she is accountable apparently to no one! She has been here office managing for 20 years ---- anyone complains, files a grievance --- and they "chat" with her, and nothing changes. She is who she is --- and no one cares enough to fire her.

My personal mission is to make myself strong enough, bulletproof to deflect her crap. I like the job otherwise.

PLEASE if you have dealt with something similar --- how did you do it?
Please pass on your ideas, inspiration, experiences, etc. to help me ---- and I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you -- and have a blessed day!
