Good for you! I admire someone who is honest and strong enough to tell the boss what they really think. I would have ended up staying uhappily in the crappy job. These days I'd be too fearful of the consequences of quitting in such circumstances. But it sounds like you really didn't have a lot of choice - who would want to work for that sort of boss? My self-concept is certainly tied up with being a worker, and it fills up the days rather nicely, given that I have no desire to travel the world or take on any other projects.

I hope you have a great road trip and come back to find a much better job.
