Dealing With a Bad Boss

Over the course of any internship or job you might encounter, you're bound to encounter a boss who is just horrible. I know when I was an intern in Congress, the intern coordinator was one of the most insufferable women I have ever met. You're best bet if you've got a boss from hell is to just take it on the chin. Don't give them attitude or lose your temper, cause that's not going to do you one bit of good.
One of my horror stories with that intern coordinator was when she told me to go clean the office kitchen. I was absolutely furious. I didn't sign up to be a maid, I signed up to be an intern. I expected to stuff envelopes, run errands, all sorts of mundane stuff, but when I'm wearing an expensive suit, I'm not going to be doing the dishes and cleaning up. So what I did in this case is I just said OK. I went to the kitchen and did a half assed job. What was she going to do? Fire me, I was there for free, plus the Chief of Staff liked me, so I wasn't going anywhere.
The point is, find away to keep your cool because if you lash out you're going to regret it.
