Hi Tamar,
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry that it was such a waste of time at your work. Sounds kind of entertaining, in a cynical way, though. Yikes, I can't imagine breastfeeding in front of my colleages here. They'd all totally freak out. I'm glad you were able to, though. It's good for people to see that more often, I think. It's such an unnecessarily hidden part of life. Like, why would it be any more private or gross than us eating our lunches? Anyway, that's a separate issue that I could go on about, being a breastfeeding mom myself at the moment.
Yeah, I hope the coaching thing works better for us. Can't make anything worse, I don't think. And I'm privately looking forward to seeing my incredibly repressed and un-self-aware boss squirm a bit with all the touchy feely stuff.
To answer your question, I have indeed been terribly unapproachable (among other things) since the debaucle around here in July. It's been more or less intentional. I guess it's a response to everyone else's attempts to deny that there is any problem, or avoid it into nonexistence. I've been pretty much in their faces about being disgruntled as a result of being treated so poorly. So, I certainly want to own my very large contribution to our department not working well together. My biggest problem, I think, is that I can't find the motivation to be easier to work with. I'm just still really angry. So, that's what I'll be working on with the coach, I guess.
