Waves,

Benzos and lithium. For the woman, birth control to save us from the next generation.

I am in process of responding to my HR file. It is not fun.
The file is shorter than it might be because after our confrontation I have rarely had to deal w/ her directly.
I was 100% aware then that the problem happened because I had 3 hours of sleep. In a different set of circumstance, I MIGHT have been been more quick thinking.



Is there any chance you can tone things down a little? Is it possible to back off so that neither one of you has a bad taste in your mouth? Just checking. I'm aware that if one is dealing with a person intent on being difficult, there is relatively little you can do.

I remember that when I taught eighth graders, many days my goal was that no one was bleeding at the end of the day. Some days, my goals were lower -- that everyone was alive at the end of the day. With goals so low, I had successful days!

Here is my favorite line from Body Heat w/ Kathleen Turn and William Hurt: "Sometimes the sht comes down so hard I think I should wear a hat."

Here is a hat for you:
Take care. Be kind to yourself.
