She doesn't speak to anyone politely... Also I try to keep my interaction with her to the absolute minimum. If I say anything along the lines of setting boundaries, that opens up a whole different conversation.<BR/><BR/>Basically, I think the situation with her is impossible to improve. I know I sound like a quitter, but after 19 months, that's where I'm at.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799238720510105530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1148616232754143272006-05-26T00:03:00.000-04:002006-05-26T00:03:00.000-04:00"I gritted my teeth and I held all of that in. God..."I gritted my teeth and I held all of that in. God, do I hate taking bullshit. I know that it was the right, mature, and professional thing to do, but I was seething inside."<BR/><BR/>I'm not in the situation, and I don't fully understand it, but I don't think you should take her b.s. What if you put up a boundary and said, "Please don't talk to me that way. I'll be happy to discuss this with you when you are ready to address me with the respect that I deserve. Until then, keep your venom to yourself."<BR/><BR/>Just a thought. You have every right to defend yourself and not have her b.s. slung all over you.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875496721000801632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1148570403935094692006-05-25T11:20:00.000-04:002006-05-25T11:20:00.000-04:00I think your blank approach with her is right on. ...I think your blank approach with her is right on.
