Donna -  Been there, done that twice!  

If it is any consolation, my current boss is the one that I, initially, was most upset about having to work for.  He was catapulted into the position because he was close friends with the then CEO.  Turns out that he has been my best boss to date!

Try to get past the crappy way that you found out about your new boss.  This is in the past and not necessarily your new boss's fault.  

Go in with an open mind and you may be surprised.  Perhaps the other person who "will not be sad to see her go" had personal reasons that they could not get along.  Close out these and other negitive comments.

Remember the rule of 21.  It takes 21 days to get used to change.  If after 21 days, there is still a problem, then it is something other than the change.
