This job is my sole source of income, so I just keep my mouth shut. I really would like to tell her that I don't need this kind of demoralization. It's not going to help me get it any faster. But if she gave me clearer instructions without stammering it would simplify what is expected of me. But once I get home I get these physical reactions from the stress like a really bad inflammation in my mouth, a tooth / head ache. To me, it's just another job that barely covers my living expenses. I don't learn the best under oppression. Everything I don't know already is wrong. But if it never came up, then I am not going to know it. She expects me to go digging. She (my boss) is the owner. I think I'll try to summarize everything she's expecting of me and throw it back at her to see if there is anything I left out.

Maybe I'm in the wrong business. I've been there for a month. I just don't fuss about the correct way to wrap a gift. I don't see the purpose of making me feel like a failure for everytime there is something I don't know or don't remember because nobody took the time. I'd like to be friends with my boss. But I cannot offer my friendship to someone who consistently demoralizes me. Yet I have to spend a considerable amount of hours with this person and keep emotionally cool, which feels unnatural. I had the notion that spending time with a person would entitle some kind of bond. I guess it doesn't have to be a positive one. I'm in it for the small change and for the lesson if I ever learn it.
