hey...been there. There are petty tyrants in the world, and i had the misfortune to be employed by one. Note the past tense. Fortunately, i was able to quit before being fired. I believe the word i used was "retire", so i could leave with no hard feelings. (small town, don't burn bridges) When my husband found out that i was throwing up each morning before going to work, said that it was time to move on. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, DO believe in yourself. It may sound unrealistic now, but within 6 months you'll wonder why you ever worked so hard, for so little. Feel free to PM for further dialogue.
