Hi all, I think I'll split my time between here and Newcomers. I am officially piecing and we are doing pretty well. But there are still many questions I have.

My biggest task right now is to remember to be gentle and not fly off the handle when ow intrudes. She's not actually reaching out, but ow and W have meetings together (with several other people as well) and ow tries to sit with W and engage her that way. We all work at the same place. W says she doesn't take the bait, but I wonder...

Any day now there will be an announcement that ow will get the promotion to head all of Human Resources here. Makes me ill, but I have to just let it go. Easier said than done.

And then there's trust. Once we've been fooled, it's just so hard to trust our instincts again. I was completely hit out of the blue with EA bomb drop last November. So how do I know if she's telling the truth now?
