Ditto! The first boss I ever had was hard to comprehend. At times she would voluntarily smile at you though sometimes you get the feeling of a dog smirking at you. At other times, you smile at her and she acts as if you don’t exist. Later, I just realized that she had the same mood with my splinter aunt. (LOL) Keep your cool, for as long as you want to keep your job, try to get by and cope with it. It sucks, you can always look for another job and a different boss but you can’t get away with it. People are people. Nice writing and post here.

Thanks, it’s actually part of why I’m trying to give blogging a serious try. Maybe I’ll be able to earn a living this way, and pad my income via other hobbies (like photography). Guess time will tell.

this is related to selfesteem. I left my cheating husband and filed for divorce. didnt ask for child support. the first few years I barely made it. Could not pay for lunches, the cheereleading uniforms, sometimes no gas to even get them to practice. Last night he stated all I have done by this is give them no self esteem. I hate this man, he has problems. By the way, I have every school item they ever had from prek till now. So tell me, what does not having money have any thing to do with me not creating self esteem. I love these kids and would give my live for them.

I have a close relative who behaves this way and tends to lob the bombs my way. Our families are so close that avoidance is impossible and the extended family’s take is “your problem, just deal with it.” The mood swings are brutal: nice as a kitten and then Medusa comes to the party! I keep telling myself to have patience for the sake of her husband. He must be going through hell!

You have my sympathy, I’m just glad I no longer have to deal with family members who are that crack nuts insane.
