My Wonkie Enterprise Ship was flying wobbly all over the place as I struggled with my personal grief and confusion. Obviously I was a newly minted Starship Cadet not a Captain! I simply went through the motions of day-to-day life and neatly compartmentalized my life in sections (the concept for compartmentalization came from Job over in Shannon's thread).
Over the summer and early fall, relations with my then boss slowly deteriorate to the point where we were barely on speaking terms and avoided each other. Eventually, I was let go sometime in November 1999. A first for me. In retrospect, my MLC fogged thinking affected the relationship with my then boss' P/A tendencies. A perfect recipe for disaster.
Prior to my MLC and my current non-MLC life, I am usually very diplomatic and able to diffuse any potential tense situations. Funny, during my MLC, I was not able to put up with or tolerate my then boss' P/A tendencies. By no means was I overly confrontational with her, but I did call her out on a few occasions. Bad move. Nowadays, I just let people with P/A tendencies go with a smile and walk away.
