Since I completed all the milestones at work two week earlier than the deadline, I sent an email to my boss for a monthly review on Tuesday. 

In the meantime, I relaxed over the weekend somewhat. Did laundry, grocery shopping and catching up with Xanga blog reading, and of course sleep.  Also watched part of the LA Laker / Houston Rocket basketball final.  LA beat Houston by 19 points.   This is the first and only ball game I have watched this year.  Since I am from LA and my boss came from Houston, what a sweet revenge.   

I also start reading and digesting advise from Chris and Matt (Thanks, guys!).  I went to two bookstores and could not find the books recommended, so I bought a book called "Monster Boss - Strategies for surviving and excelling when your boss is a nightmare".

At least, it seems there are many monster bosses besides mine, and there are people suffering monster bosses just as I am.  Glad to know I am not alone!  After answering a series of questions, the book labeled my boss as a Bigfoot, Dracula, and Argus. Hope these picturs are not giving you nightmares! 

Now I just have to learn how to slay the monsters or tame them.  Back in my mind, I am ready to resign and become an independent consultant.  I have enough money for a conformable life and I am working just as a hobby anyway.  This incident is almost like a ego trip for me to learn how to deal with difficult bosses, and show her I am not as bad as she thinks.  In the second case, it maybe a lost cause already!  We will see during Tuesday meeting with her. 

This is a challenge that make life interesting as long I do not get eater by the monsters!
