Is there anybody there who can help or give me advice what to do if you have short tempered, moody, childish, talkative boss? short tempered = she got angry easily to us if we comitted mistake, can't she just tell us what is the best thing to do instead of getting mad with us besides it's just a simple problem. moody = if shes happy she keep on talking and talking to all the people near her, didn't she notice that shes disturbing them and it's make her look a child, but whooaa if she's in bad mood get out of her way coz she will just ruin your day.

Just try to ignore your boss' attitude. However, if you can't bear with it anymore then I guess it is already the best time to start looking for another job. Once you find a new job then quit with them. For me, your situation doesn't provide a healthy working environment which is very important for the employees to function properly.

yah. thanks for your advice. actually im doing that just try to ignore it if shes angry i just listen if shes done then back to work. i wish i could quit this job, but unfortunately, looking for another job is very hard as of this day, so many applicants who are more competitive and besides i have just purchase my new house and i need to pay for it regularly to show the developer that i can afford to pay for it. because they might pull it out of me once i have unpaid amortization.

I don't think there is something you can do for her to change her attitude, and to lessen her switching of moods. If she wants to change, she would have done that.. i guess she is happy trying to annoy everyone around her.
the best thing you can do is to ignore her mood swings and just "get out of her way" all the time, i mean even if she is in a good mood. if you are one of those that she bugs when she is happy.. then tell her you are busy and is doing something. if she can't help then she can stay out of it. hehe

I had a boss like that. I tried to just do my job and stay out of her way, but she actually took joy in trying to find mistakes when there was none. If she couldn't find anything wrong with your work she would go through your desk and yell at you about what was in your drawers. She would actually wait for me to leave at night and go through my desk to find something yell at me about. She even yelled at me for having a picture of my dog on my desk. I complained about her to one of the owners of the company and she got reamed out, that was kind of fun, and she left me alone for a little while, but she came back later and really went after me after that. I eventually decided that no job was worth being treated that way and decided to leave, it was hard because I had been there for 7 years, but after 2 years of putting up with her crap I just had to go. The boss I had at the job I got after leaving that job, was the nicest most wonderful woman who just thought the world of me. After that I couldn't believe I had let myself be treated so badly for so long.
I don't know if I actually answered your question, but I thought I would share my personal experience with you. We don't have to be treated badly in our lives, life is to short and there are always more opportunities.
