Hey Vett, I think LMo and I were reading the same handbook here. Your best offense is a good defense. Don't let the friend know that her stare or look has affected you in any way. Go about your business, do your job, be professional. And if anyone tries to bring the situation between you and your ex into the workplace...well, that's a can of worms they don't even want to open. You'll get thru this Vett, it may be one painful step at a time at first, but I have a feeling that deep down inside beats the heart of a survivor.

There are three sure things in this life, death, taxes, and time heals all wounds.

The next time this "friend" passes you at work and gives you the death stare (yes, I've seen them before), tell her I said hello and I hope she has a really great day. It'll turn that frown upside down....not!
