My boss told her she'd give the replacement to me to bring home and W said "Oh no, please just mail it, he can't find out because he will be furious." The thing is, it's absolutely not true, even the old me wouldn't have cared. And in fact, I still had the document in my briefcase, I had forgotten about it. If W had asked, I would have looked a few minutes and produced it. Yet somehow she convinced herself I'd go postal over it. In 25 years I've probably had a big shouting match with W half a dozen times, yet she developed the perception that I would rip her a new one over the smallest things. I can do 180's on the old me's ways (and I certainly have done many), but changing W's perceptions? I don't know.


Wow, I feel the same way. For some reasons they've been imagining stuff that they end up believing more than reality. Tough uphill battle for us, isn't it?
