My boss is just really awful, mean, unpredictable, and irrational, and she makes work a living hell. But I have to stay on her good side to get a recommendation from her when I leave at the end of January! (In my field, you can't really make it without recommendations/ connections.)
So I have 5 months left, and it seems like an eternity of despair. Any ideas on how to survive without getting too crazy, stressed out, and bitter?
