Thanks. I was blowing off steam and really needed somewhere to express my frustration. I’m amazed that I just don’t listen to my body when it gets tired and exhausted. I wasn’t getting enough sleep. I talked to HR and they understand. I feel much better not working at Menards 5-9 am 5 days a week. I’m playing (trombone) in a big band throughput the summer where I’m supposed to be. I’ve performed in bands my whole life and I need to keep doing what feels best for me.

Sounds like you are handling this quite well. I've always admired the ability to play an instrument. Couldn't help but feel angry in hearing how your immediate supervisor treated you.
First, any person in a position of authority should NOT be berating an employee, especially in front of co workers. Seems you were terminated because your assessment of him was right on point:)
Secondly, he should have treated you with the respect due a person of your experience.
Lastly, actually before he approached you, he should have gotten his facts straight, He should be the one receiving discipline.
I have always detested big fish in a very small pond who emotionally bully and abuse people in their charge. It's people like him who make people like us need medication!
