Hey, HopeandFaith1, welcome. Your post reminded me of so many things about my working life. (I'm retired now). I worked continuously for more than 40 years and, honestly, I can count the number of competent bosses I had on one hand! (For the record: 2). You sound like you know what you're about, and it seems like you have developed a crazy good skill set. Continue to do your job best you can, document interactions with boss--start a file. Can't hurt--and just take it a day at a time. I was a teacher until I retired. It was a profession I came to late-ish in life, and I loved it for a long time. But..the 2008 recession hit my independent school hard, and it became more and more difficult to love what I was doing. Toward the end of my tenure I felt overworked and underappreciated, and I believe that feeling caused me to drink more. I'm a non-drinker now. Congratulations on your sober time. Keep moving forward and all will be well. Peace.
