Take a pad and pencil in to every meeting and keep detailed notes of what went on including date/time and who was there. Print everything out and bring it home. Keep copies of files on a USB drive. Assume internet, e-mail and phone calls are being monitored.

Above all, shut up about the boss. Don't whine or complain at work and stay out of HR. Keep a smile on your face and agree to everything. Become an invaluable asset and always keep your ears open and mouth shut.

If it's really bad, find another job.

Good luck.
He's been trying for MONTHS to find another job. No one is hiring in this economy. He works in IT (computers) so EVERYTHING is done over e-mail. There is documentation of everything exactly because of that. But she pulls crap like ... well, today for instance she apparently said Job X hadn't been done. Boyfriend told her it had, and she pulled up YESTERDAY'S documentation and said, "well, I dont have documentation of it." He showed her TODAY'S documentation (and no, he wasn't late in doing something) and she refused to look at it, insisting that it should have been done yesterday. It's all just really stupid stuff, I'm not even kidding.
