I so get this about the extravagant praise. I wanted (and told) my prev t/pdoc to fall out of his car when he saw me, and was truly disappointed when he didn't. in the years since, I have learned HOW MUCH of the praise from my FOO was lies - on their part, tho actually true and well-deserved, just dishonest! - so I still want to kill them. but I am beginning to deal with my anger.
