I would put it down as a plus point in your favour = you didn't blow your top or walk out (even though entitled to) and finished the job. Professional.
Changing your life story is up to you. This is one example of an abrasive, rude manager. Many are like that. Many are more sophisticated, and some can be be quite humane.
Expecting reasonable treatment from every boss is not a realistic expectation. Like I said, put it down as a learning experience - quite a tough one - and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
There are many, many routes open to you in tech support. Admittedly many of them involve upping sticks and moving - but if you carry on the way your going, thinking of yourself as a "loser" for not being a nastier person - you're not going to be happy. If you decide to become a nastier person - again, you're not going to be happy.
Decide what YOU want from an employer, and seek out that employer. They'll never come to you - but if you're smart you can find out in advance who you prefer working for, and where you'll be happiest.

Pekka: I think you should take a leaf out of Cruddy's book and send the company an invoice, detailing your work, labour, and travel expenses. After all, what can you lose except a little more time?
As for the topic, I do find it hard to say "no" to people. This sunday will be spent sorting out a friend's PC after he had a virus. I'll help him, because in this case he can't help himself (and he's a good bloke who puts himeself out for other's). But I know it will take all afternoon, and that's my weekend: gone.

Damn. I almost always do what I'm asked to do if someone refers to me personally. Better or worse. For example, some days ago a guy asked me to buy sth. He was obviously a cheater, and though I knew He probably is, I decided to buy his product just so that He wouldn't be disappointed in his hope I would buy it. Also, I spend a lot of money last time giving money to anyone asked me to give it to him. I participated in some action of feeding children in poorer regions, twice,
I "bought" an elephant and a pen from people (I don't know if it's a common way of begging in your places) who were offering it in exchange for financial support, I gave some money to other beggars, and I always give my sit to elderly people in busses and tramways though I think it is in fact dumb thing to do, as they go out after one stop and very often don't even thank You. When it comes to giving money, I very rarely can stop myself from doing that. I don't know why, because again I think it is stupid. I often don't eat though all day because I'm too mean to buy myself something more than a bounty or something and a coke tin, but...
That becomes quite a serious problem to me. When I was robbed some months ago I promessed myself I won't give money to beggars because I lost all my savings in fact, but it didn't stop and now I run out of money very quickly.

If you keep it to yourself it is like it didn't happen.
