Life can sure hand us challenges we are just not ready to handle no matter how old we are.

Well, frankly, I faced the decline of an aging parent when I was in my 30s and working this same job. This was made more difficult by the fact that my peers and boss just couldn't understand. So it is difficult for me to have sympathy for her.

So from about Christmas to now I saw some real improvements in this person and I thought she had figured stuff out. However, this week she jumped back to her nasty self.

I am now suspecting that this person will have zero respect for me unless I make her. So I guess I have to make her.
