> Susan, when you find out, I'd like to know too! It's a constant challenge; getting along with your co-workers
<<LOL! I guess that's true, it's like a family almost. Maybe I'm just overloaded by them from my busy season at work, which just ended...> There must be a graceful way to say, "go away, I'm busy" or "go away, I don't like you".
<<I'm such a wuss I never want to hurt anyone's feelings.Although, yesterday, my suitemate was sitting in my office (uninvited I assure you), and my boss came in and fussed at me for not turning in an assignment on time. He left, and I said, "Sorry, L, but I am not too happy right now and want to be alone." She thought I was apologizing for being in a bad mood and didn't get that I *literally* wanted to be alone, meaning her out of the office. So I had to say, get out. I guess I was too subtle in saying I wanted to be alone. Duh.
Maybe this irritation with everyone will die down in a bit....I really hope so. Life was easier when I liked everyone. :-)
