It wasn't a good environment, my boss was outright insulting and hostile at times, and my personal response to feeling out of my depth was honestly to waste time. It wasn't a good job for me nad I wasn't a good employee in it.
Wow, so so very much the same as my experience! As I've thought more about this (imaginary conversations with imaginary interviewers while driving my car -- doesn't everyone do this?), I've come to see that the main lesson for me in this is the importance of not taking the hide-in-the-burrow approach to dealing with (1) change in the workplace and (2) conflict in the workplace.
Well, and the other important lesson is not to take the job working for someone you know to be a weasel with rabies, and if you learn that your boss is a weasel with rabies, to start looking for other work immediately -- but I don't think I'll be sharing that with future interviewers.
