You don't really want to not have a choice about getting fired. From now on when your boss gives you verbal instructions, immediately send her an internal email confirming the instruction. If she then sends an email to her boss panicked, forward the email you sent to that boss.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Jess! Hope it works out for the best.
You too, Zen. And sarameg, except I don't have so much hope for your install at this point.
All right, I have purchased or ordered everything I am getting for the December holiday of their choice this year, I think. Oh, right, except my co-workers. Maybe I can knock that out this weekend, if not after work one day this week, it'll be small stuff and can be pretty much the same for everyone (other than my secret santa who gave me no clues, dammit)

Big Boss is totally in her pocket, is the problem. I'm going to set up a meeting with HR instead. (But even if HR promises to keep it confidential, if she gets called in and told not to be a fucking psychopath anymore, she's going to know I'm the one who complained, because everyone else on our team is an outsourced freelancer. So basically I'm screwed until I get another job.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yikes, Jess. Good luck.

There are many times when I'm grateful for working for big companies with multiple levels of management and a head office that understands the inadvisability of unfair employment practice lawsuits.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Ack!
In other acky! news, my car's oil light starting flickering when I took the car around curves this afternoon. So I dropped off my last fare at the airport, and took the car into the mechanic... which I was going to do anyway, since it's overdue for its post-rebuild checkup which would include an oil change anyway.
But still, I want my car available, since I can actually make money with it and all.

Ugh Jessica, I hope the new job comes soon. Meanwhile I like Typo's rec of the email confirming instructions, just so you have a bit of back up.
