I guess I need to just accept the fact that:

- my boss isn't a mentor
- they fired the Director and won't replace him
- the guy they placed above me doesn't know my field as well as I do... he has his strengths, but I have more years of experience
- my job is far from ideal, I am looking around and will most likely leave soon.

It's the only way I can view it and still feel happy. Otherwise, this is making me feel miserable to think about.... all that is wrong, and all that could use some serious improvement.
