rr -- Blondie's said it's fine if I come in sick as long as I was able to come in (and if she was sick, the same).

However, that's just her general policy and not just with respect to me.

I know all too well the feeling that there are different standards applied to different folks -- like I still (very pettily) can't get over Blondie spending the time / energy to learn about my frickin' country's culture a whole year plus after I started with her just because she got a new client from the same godforsaken place and despite having exhibited the most astounding levels of ignorance whenever I'd tried (and finally given up) talking to her about it in all this while.

But, she just doesn't see it -- we've gone round and round about it but she just gets mad at me that I don't appreciate all the other stuff she's done for me (which I suppose is true).

Not sure if this helps you feel better or not but just thought I'd throw it in there that I'm totally on the ship of feeling like I am a second-class citizen when it comes to therapy.
