I'm back, more or less. Long hours devoted to client satisfaction over a period of days tend to make me surly. Consider me surly. Today, the president-elect of this client suggested that she will be our "greatest nightmare" during her tenure (after she said she expected us [me and all my staff] to jump when she says hop). I tend to react badly to such promises, but I bit my tongue. We'll have lunch soon, she and I, and by the end of that breaking of bread she'll either understand that's not the way to deal with one's 'partners' or she'll be notified that I'm executing our termination option. I really can't afford it, but life's too short. I can sack groceries with the best of them if I need to pay my bills!
I'm thinking similar thoughts about various other groups. Is this insantity?
Quite possibly, but I've been wanting to 'correct' the environment for some time. This may be the chance to do it or it may be the opportunity to inadvertently go backrupt and rent a flat in the poorhouse.
Purely 'nuf said. I'm just tired. Mark it off to tiredness. I'm sure I'll feel much better in the morning and will be more amenable to reacting well to being treated as a slave. Of course. Yes, I will.

I'm not sorry to say that I'd have reacted more than a little badly to someone who told me he/she would be my "greatest nightmare". Why not say they wanted to be your best partner instead. Sheesh...what's going on with this world. It seems that people actually pride themselves on being difficult these days. hmmph!
