But it sounds like you handled it beautifully. :)
I have the same problem with confrontations. I avoid whenever possible then break into tears. If you avoided that, you did well. Why are we cursed with those flaming amygdalas? Everyone gives me great advice about laughing it off, or not showing it bothers me, and I'm completely incapable of following it. Given your flaming amygdala, it sounds as if you did a stellar job and learned some things that might make it easier to work with her.
And as my husband often says about layoffs, "The retained shall envy the released."
