Thanks Jen, I'm trying. Its still hard sometimes though (especially since I have to sit beside her 40 hours a week). But the fact that suddenly she's doing the one thing I asked of her has made things much easier, because now I can do my job. I don't know why they decided to grant my request, but I think I'm proving my point pretty well. That's probably why she's mad at me.
I've been reading some psychological self help books, and I'm realizing this whole thing is because our personalities clash, and it would have happened eventually no matter what. I realize now how controlling she is. She has the mentality of: if someone isn't doing things to her standards, she'll just do it herself - and then of course resent it. She's the same outside of work, she has to always be right, have the last word, win the argument, win the game, be the smartest, or get to make the decision. Its funny that everyone here has been telling me that but for some reason I was blind to it. But it certainly says something about me, because I seem to be drawn to the same type of person over and over. At least now I'm a little more aware.
As for the kitty, he's doing fine. I named him Kelso (from That 70's Show). He makes me laugh all the time. I was definitely meant to have that kitty.
