In the meantime, is your boss the type that is impossible to talk to? If not, try telling her how it makes you feel that she uses you that way. There must be a reason she chooses you and not someone else. Maybe she confides in you more than others? I don't think it's right for her to ride you the way she does, but something must be going on. If she isn't the type you can talk with easily, I would try seeking out her superior and letting them know what she's been up to.

Most of the time when she does this I am the only person available in the area for her to talk to. She seems hell-bent on forcing me to accept she is superior in every way. Anything she can't do or isn't interested in doing, she sneers at. She will bring up topics as bait so she can jump on what I say. She has personal beliefs that are extremist and not in keeping with the corporation's expressed values, and while I am on the job I keep 99.9% of my personal opinions to myself. I'm a firm believer in maintaining a professional demeanor while at the same time having cordial relations with co-workers in and outside of my department and she cannot figure out how I manage that. So she picks and she picks and she picks. Her emotional problems go back at least as far as elementary school; as for telling
her superior,
that person has never even been in our area and wouldn't care (on a corporate level) even if I did track the superior down and say what was going on.
