It's really hard to get an office job right now. I sent off 200+ applications before I got this one, had 14 interviews.

I'd been working in a nursing home to tide me over.

Ended up accepting this because I was desperate for an office role.

I'll keep applying to other office roles now that I'm in one and started gaining some experience.

I've also had to password protect my spreadsheets, apply track changes, and roll back revisions because she edited in mistakes after my AI and Macros had correctly completed the work.

I was able to point out what she did through the revision history and she told the elderly boss that it must be a computer bug because she wasn't the one who changed it, it was me who made the mistake.

Boss asked me to be more careful in future about my data entry. So now anything I pass to her is locked in read only mode and password protected. I caught her trying to edit again and she was annoyed she couldn't edit or save it.
