Post-traumatic Stress
The reason I didn't write for all those months - I am the administrator of a small regional college and I had some 'difficulties' with a subordinate. It took all my energies to stay sane and keep coming back to work on a daily basis.
I controlled myself, she eventually realised that I wasn't going anywhere (I have only been here just over 12 months), that I knew what sort of games she was playing and (eventually)left. I don't think she banked on my tenacity or that I was actually smarter than her. She couldn't help herself and one day, after I had knocked off early, she read my work diary which detailed what I had been observing her doing and not doing (there was some pretty damning stuff in there).
She was as cunning as a shithouse rat but it didn't work; she knew that I knew what her manipulations were and (thank the Gods and Godesses) gave it up as a sad and sorry effort.
But I am in counselling as a consequence and have been told that it is Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome. ('Cos, bloody hell, I was stressed - I was consumed by the bloody woman and what she was doing - and not doing). Of course there is more than can be said here and more players involved than just her, all her supporters and the bleeding heart teachers.
But it is all good - work-wise - since she left. Now...I just have to get my head back where it belongs.

Hello, I seemed to have stumbled upon your blog by accident but it sure does make interest reading. I was actually surfing for more information on cheap flight to asia. Still I’m glad I stopped by!
