How to deal with an awful boss?

My boss is just really awful, mean, unpredictable, and irrational, and she makes work a living hell. But I have to stay on her good side to get a recommendation from her when I leave at the end of January! (In my field, you can't really make it without recommendations/ connections.)

So I have 5 months left, and it seems like an eternity of despair. Any ideas on how to survive without getting too crazy, stressed out, and bitter?

Answer:
At each difficulty remember your goal and keep thinking about it.

That's the only advice I can give and I believe you can do it!

Good luck!
ignore your boss and maybe she will go away. why can't you quit now? i got out when i had an a$$hole boss and i feel tons better!
smack her with a ruler.
just keep that day firmly planted in your mind. try and focus on work as much as possible or even socializing with the other co-workers (if you like them) anything that will distract your thoughts about her. Could play of Answers all day too :)
