I saw red. Took her aside and said, This is what I was talking about...
She defended herself by saying she behaves the same way with everyone. We had a bit of a ding dong.
After the support I've had from you guys here, I somehow was able to find the right words.
Feeling I was prepared to walk out (or call in sick until I found something else) helped a lot too.
Thanks everyone.
I feel good about standing up for myself.

I get so mad at myself a lot because I don't have the courage to ever blow up at anybody at work. I hold back a lot because I feel like I can't afford to lose my job since it's the only thing going right for me in my life.
There's a cleaning lady (or janitor) that upsets me and I think that she feels the same way about me. What really makes it hard is that she does not understand English. She's not hesitant to express her anger, but I am.
I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. I've been through it myself. There were times when I prevailed by just sticking it out and other times I had quit. Best to you. Oh, outside of work, I can express my anger easier.
