Now, instead of just outright asking me to do something, I'll be asked if I have anything on my list for the next day, and then get asked to do something on that day. Also, I don't seem to have as many interruptions as I used to, which is always good. I think the rules are being learned.

Dr Phil says - you teach people how to treat you. So when she tries to give you tasks to be done on the spot, simply say "I'll add it to tomorrow's to do list". When she interrupts you, simply hand her a piece of paper and say "Can you write that down for me, so we can discuss it when I'm not in the middle of something?". Cheers, Snoskred I think you just need to lay down the rules, my friend.
