Parents Constantly Sniping at Me

Like I said, I didn't argue with other bosses because they kept it professional, so did I.

Examples... this week I had to research several things as they are incompetent on the computer. Do the research, have to print out several hundred pages because, again, computer illiteracy. Put it on their desk at around 11:30 morning.

Boss flips through one stack several times and yells at me it's not the right thing. I have to print on used sheets often as a rule (single side used sheets are put back into printer) -- I flip it upside down like I laid it first time with the thing he wanted in first place.

Coworker comes in to say printer has no toner after printing 10 sheets, where a new cartridge is, Boss yells at me for that even though it's under the cabinet. He rants for half-an-hour about how I didn't order toner last year when he asked me too. (Which is true, they often pile multiple things to be done on me and if I don't write them down, used to forget several of the lesser items).

It all off-tangent stuff but I have to stand there and listen to it so I do. Then comes a litany of past things I forgot, and if I backtalk I "cannot be talked to" or "reasoned" with even though Idk what response I can give to please them. Trying harder doesn't work. If I stay silent, then "What, you have nothering to say for yourself?"

Lunch happens, I didn't get anything else done in that 45m to lunch time because of this, boss grandson (my nephew comes, some 14 year old brat) and boss complains to him "Replyin got nothing done today!" And my nephew responds like I'm the oldest "kid" in the room. Boss laughs and I get steamed and leave to take a walk off the mental steam on my lunch break instead.

Boss puts out impression that he pays everything for me to other employees. Of course, his internal logic is my paycheck = his money = him paying for everything in my life. I earn nothing.
