Threads like this just help me deal with what's going on.

I'm working at my current job as an intern until December. I'm a friend (not really that close) of the owner and he let me know I'd be working directly for him- I think that will continue when the new plant manager takes over.

The new plant manager seems passive aggressive- and I can't help but notice that he expresses his dislike for things that he knows I'm interested in. My gut feeling is that I need to be on guard to be sure he doesn't take advantage of me.

L- let me know that her time is important, but mine is not. I'm going to have to let her know that I'm not going to drop everything just because it's convenient for her. The eye-rolling and just outright disrespect is getting old quick.

A.S.-Also passive aggressive- stonewalling is her favorite technique.

I think R is on my side for the most part. He seems genuinely interested in my well-being, and he seems like a decent guy.

On the other hand, I'm sure they're decent people. L is helping to place homeless animals.

The new plant manager seems like he has led an interesting life. I'm sure A.S. has some good qualities.

I feel really inadequate at times. Like I'm slow to catch on to what people want, where I fit in, how to get along with people without being a pushover.
