Hey man, I appreciate your input, as I do for all the comments that have been made. Today, I made the decision to simply avoid another issue with her by asking our Shipping/Receiving Manager to make the label for me.
As I stated in an earlier post, I never asked her to mail the package, I simply asked her to print a label, which she never did anyway. I could get huffy myself and get all bent out of shape at this, but instead, I am going another route to finish the job, and if she gets upset about it, I will simply remind her that she was never supposed to mail it out herself.
I am however, keeping a list of all the times she does these kinds of things, with dates, and specifics, as well as bringing each of them to my Dad's attention, right after they happen, so that he is aware of the issues, and so that there is someone else here who can tell them that I am not making it all up.
The owners are coming back in the next few weeks, and I am simply going to bring it up to them. I have tried more than a reasonable number of times to talk to her about it, and I am done. It's going to management, with a record of me trying, and her stopping me from doing my job.
:) Thanks everyone for the comments, and Momo, I will read that article, just for you.
cmdr_flashheart: Does she act unreasonably with anyone else?
YES, EVERYONE else. But they don't seem to care.
Maybe I am reading too much into her attitude, and maybe I am just some young kid who needs to learn his place, but I am still not going to just lay here and take it just because everyone else does.
mystikmind2000: I would not recommend any hostile scheme even if it is relatively passive, because these things have a way of backfiring.
This is the reason I did what I did today, it was not hostile, but it got the job done, while just leaving her out of it. If she complains about it, I have a way of politely proving that she is overstepping, and if she doesn't, then no harm was done.

Seriously though, it indeed sounds like you have tried plenty. One tactic could be now: be prepared to stay only as long as you need to get some savings and a good Plan B job strategy together. Having achieved that, then go to the superior of your cowardly boss and present your case.
This is my plan moving forward. I am, as I stated above, keeping a log of the issues, and once I have another job lined up, which I am actively looking for, I am gone, after a polite conversation with my boss about the reasons why.
Fenixp: 2 years of IT experience, eh? Find another job :-P
I actually have a lot more than that, but 2 years at this job.
I really enjoyed reading this, because it truly gave me a LOT to think about. Thank you.
My boss IS out of order by not getting involved, but really, I am going to let it go... for now, and when I am gone, they will know that he was part of the reason.
