Micromanaging leads to Resume Send Off$

I woke up at 1030pm, my half finished novel in my lap.  I was exhausted yesterday.

Another day of reprimend at the only job I can find.   I had been sent to Procedures in the AM, to have a coworker tell me Keith was coming in at 9am to train.  "Night shift Keith?"  I pondered?  The one hired over me?  I called the lead Tech and requested to not train him.  I was moved back to outpatient.  "No no no," my coworker had returned, "Evening shift Keith."  The Keith that had crosstrained in CT.  Oh, well that's not a problem.  I called again to be firmly told to head to Outpatient for 2 weeks.

I sat alone, performing patient after patient with no other contact from the coworkers.  A random phone call from the thickly Texas accented Lead Tech saying for me to hurry and finish this patient then head to lunch.  I decided to scan away one more patient, then I'd have an extra hour free in my afternoon.

Upon doing such, I retreated back to the main scanner on the other side of the hospital, marked the board which detailed all my patients in that room and headed downstairs for a chicken salad.  20 mins passed....my phone rang, the lead Tech asking where I was, and to meet him in his office.

He told me to go to lunch an hour ago.  I didn't get the night shift position because I'm immature.  He doesn't know what games I'm playing, why I don't socialize like I have been.  He's not a babysitter, he shouldn't have to walk across the hospital to see what I'm doing. I should be answering the phone everytime he calls and letting him know where I am on the outpatient schedule.  I may have done alot in my 5 yrs, but I have a lot to learn.

Right.  So. I am to sit on week 2 of 3, alone in the scanner literally on the other side of the hospital, report to him what I'm doing and when, go to lunch when he tells me to, and avoid politics....meaning....don't be so polite with all the other employees?  I am the only tech that gets along with other departments.

The interventional nurses saw me yesterday, and sent off a praising letter to upper management and cc'd it to the lead tech.  They believe CT is trying to break me down.

I thought of this, the Lead Tech is a micromanager, and fears me.  He can not control me, therefore he will put me down.  He also stated he's saddened by all the mistakes that take place on other shifts, he has no  control over them.  He stated that employees from Texas to California look for management skills, and I have none.  I replied that I have received management offers from Massachusettes, which is true.  On the East Coast, I'm eligible for Lead Tech.

How about putting qualified Techs in those positions? 

I sent my resume out to resume blaster.  I'm thinking of a way to ask permission to switch shifts with a later dayshifter, for I do need to ask permission.  From 830-5 to 10-630.   I have hit the full brick wall in knowing what to do next.  I've been segregated away, asked for a mobile phone, denied that, and...well...I'm to stick next to the phone and anxiously await for calls when there are no outpatients to do.

There were 5 other Techs working yesterday besides me(normally 3).  How dare I go to lunch with no outpatients to do.  I didn't go when Lead Tech thought I should go.  Which would have put me behind in my outpatients, but not answering the phone right away is travesty.  And if someone walks by asking questions, regardless of MD or patient, I am to put them on hold to answer the phone.

How do you handle a micromanager?  I WILL never succeed at this hospital.  I know that.  I just need to make the place tolerable.  I'm getting tired of my quiet, "Yes sir" chirade.  It's honestly exhausting me.
