I say, buck up sister and throw him a fast one.<BR/><BR/>When people try and shame you into capitulation, turn the tables on them. Practice a kind of mental tai chi and deflect their negativity back to them. When someone is adversarial, one has two choices; get in their face or agree with them. Agree with everything they say and there is no resistance or to say it another way, nothing to fight over. Once the battle is over, present what you want in another form.<BR/><BR/>There was a book By Vern Black, PhD. Called the "Integrity Tone Scale." It is a brilliant book I can no longer find (I gave away many copies) but if you can find it, take a look and let me know where you found it.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/> HopeHopeSpringsATurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674162196011919272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-88160799105251979472008-07-11T02:45:00.000-06:002008-07-11T02:45:00.000-06:00The job stuff - both current and prospective - is ...The job stuff - both current and prospective - is unsetttling. Lot of ambiguity there. I worked for a pretty toxic CMHC, and you are left with no option but to play hardball. Hated that, because it is so not me. <BR/><BR/>Hope the new hard drive plan works quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-20892776215137752432008-07-10T21:49:00.000-06:002008-07-10T21:49:00.000-06:00j...thanks for your support!j...thanks for your support!TheWeyrd1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064826219629525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-26646368357545787442008-07-10T20:03:00.000-06:002008-07-10T20:03:00.000-06:00poisoness people in the work place are deadly---ye...poisoness people in the work place are deadly---yet they always seem to walk away with clean hands---NOT FAIR....as for the hard drive--good thinking! guess i'll you up on the weekend on monday :o)Jdancer8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13325808266821705755noreply@blogger.com
