The world of designers as employees can be a total nightmare x .x I experienced it a lot!! I quit many times haha put the things in a balance, maybe quitting is not that bad. I had the worst boss ever a while ago so I quit even a lot of changes were comming, I wasn't unemployeed for so long do, just a month later I got a much better job with much better payment ;)
Take care of your health first, including emotional, then worry for the rest.

...as said. It is not that bad. He is "forced" by the law to make sure that his staff fits (right education). And I have the wrong one. It is not that he personaly doesnt like me...hes just a man of paper i guess and likes that things click. Which I get. I like to work in the frames of rules too. I dislike the system. I rly like this work....thats where the issue lies. :)
..and dont fret. I'm swamped too. Its the thought that counts. :)
