This whole job situation is over me not giving unconditioned respect to a superior. I believe that the superior doesn't even realize that this whole situation is over demanded respect; I will not respect someone who hasn't earned my respect.

>Cam,
I am wait late to the board and to your story; therefore, I only know parts of it. But I am sorry for what has been happening and do feel your pain. Your line above about not being able to wear your heart on your sleave pains me. There is nothing worse than being open with those around you and then being trampled upon. While my situation was trivial compared to yours, I too lost a job by being open to a person who I thought cared -- 1 1/2 years ago, and I am still angry about it. I wish there was something I could do to help. More than just letting you know that I care.
