What's most unsettling about my boss.. is that she'll start screaming but be fine 5 mintutes later. She's so, so tense and just cussing at everything this week. just a longwinded complaint, avoid if you don't want bummer-ism.[More:]

It's not at me, so I suppose I need to deal with it. This isn't the kind of job that I want to quit just for emotional stuff. I'm learning a great deal here. I'm just talking about it.. not asking for any help or anything. I know I've brought all this up before. Just typing now, as fast as I can, so all that adrenaline goes somewhere.

I am glad that I am more civilised than she is, that I don't act that way. I would have probably been killed or something if I did. I suppose her fire is admirable, I sure feel mousy. Everyone around her snaps to it and feeds her tea and all.. just on a wire edge.. I am probably the most sensitive person in the office then. And meanwhile I am sick. My nose has been rather raw and stuffy for a week and my throat is raw.

I am fucking disabled. I have some sort of mystery 2000s disorder I can never remember the name of. Yet I and everyone around me expects me to act as if I was not disabled. I suppose I am very grateful not to be more disabled than I am. Here we are helping the most desperate of people, and I am NOT going to complain about workplace mannerisms in that context. I know just how bad real trouble can be.

I am praying for strength.
BtGoG - your boss actually sounds a bit like me, except I try NOT to snap and yell in the workplace. I save it for home. I bet she gets really ashamed of when she gets all emotional and crap. You're probably doing the right thing - just ignore her when she yells and screams. Don't treat her any different or encourage the behavior. She's not your friend, she's your boss, so you don't have to tolerate rude or uncivil behavior.

Yeah; as hard as it is to be around her, I bet it's harder to be her. Hope things lighten up for you, though!

This wasn't that interesting until I noticed... || Because I'm a sucky hack at CSS...
