Hi everyone, my name is Micah, this is a little long, I hope you guys don't mind reading this.
here is my deal.
I started a job about a month ago, and from the first day I noticed my boss was very impatient, did not know how to train me properly, and would just get frustrated with me continually for no reason and be very insulting and offensive about. I talked to her, but it did no good, she said if I wasn't so stupid she wouldn't treat me like that, I told the area manager and asked for a transfer, but she said she couldnt at the time, and then told my manager that I complained about her, and then my boss made it really uncomfortable to work there, cuz she'd say I tattled on her.

I tried my best to learn everything asap, I worked my butt off studying the material and trying to learn, but she would always find something wrong, or something not quite satisfactory for her and become rude and insulting about it. I tried to talk it out with her professionally several times but she thought her rudeness was warranted because I was stupid.
I finally coudn't handle anymore, I left her a typed letter telling her I could no longer work at that branch, and I told the area manager what I did, and she offered me a job at a different location finally, which I wanted to do a while ago, and me and her were close, but now she said my job performance is in question and she is believing the stuff the other manager was saying about me.

So I'm about to start at this other branch tomorrow, I just feel extremely discouraged, I feel like maybe I am an idiot and can't learn the stuff, and I feel very unsure of myself going in to work tomorrow.
Can any one give any sound advice on this and how to feel more confident in myself and my work ability after something like this has happened?
