Or you can go over the permanent marker with a whiteboard marker and it will come off   

I too feel your pain.  My (male) boss is so erratic with his moods at the moment (he's from another state and done two years with us and we know he wants to be back there not here) that when he's bad everything becomes an epic tale and I've been copping quite a bit of it.  It's not just me, his 2IC is p*ssed off with him big time, but I'm so stressed.  I'm going on leave in 4 weeks and dreading being away as there are now things going on such as strategy days that if they don't go right I'm sure I'll cop it when I get back.  I don't want to leave the organisation as I love the people I work with and interact with so I'm going to be strong and hang on until I get back from leave and see what's around then.  Yesterday he was fine and nothing was a big deal, today I'm sure if I had said I'm quitting he would have told me not to come in tomorrow.  Thank you for letting me rant too.

Good luck Chikky and Jess with your job hunting and emigrating. : )
