A Fresh Start

Let's just say that last week was not the best week of work for me. Granted, I've had worse, but last week was rife with tension and trouble a-brewing. I had several "minor" clashes with Dummy Boss that left her frustrated and "helpless" (she's trying to figure out how to spin those little events into the next case against me). There is a lot of rage just underneath the surface, and it is almost like a powder keg or minefield in here. One false move one day and a "situation" is going to re-occur. The problem for her, is that she is so predictable and dumb, that I know what she is going to do and what is going to bother her (what bothers her is that I don't bow down to her and treat her as a god). But, I am technically not doing anything wrong or even trying to deal with her at all (which is another problem for her). The easiest thing for her to do is to just leave me alone. I don't require close supervision, I'm a very capable and independent worker, and I'm pretty quiet. Our relationship would probably improve if she would just stay the heck away from me with all of her phony, back-stabbing nonsense and learn to gain self-esteem from something other than the fear and acknowledgment of her staff.
I just don't want any trouble this week, but I know that each passing hour brings more and more hostility and contempt. How did someone like me get to be #1 on the radar in this office? Of well, I can handle it. Someone has to be the bad guy.
