Hi Suzzie,

You've described most of my working life. I have had more than one boss who contradicted herself. Is it possible to get another job? I'm trying. Sometimes I just nod and redo whatever it is to match what the boss is saying now--I figured out she either can't see well, or she doesn't remember what she has told me, or a bit of both. And she won't admit it!
Thanks for this!
