As I get ready to go to the main office, I realize it has been four weeks since she read me the riot act and the great silence began.
Four weeks in which I have sent no direct message except to say thanks to something she sent me once.
I had hoped for an easing of tension but have come to realize that this is not possible.
I will always remain in her eyes a potential threat, especially when it comes to her goal of “trickling up” inside our office.
She will never be secure while I remain employed in the same company. She will always make assumptions that just aren’t real.
But these are real in her mind and that’s all that matters.
She is both Snow White and the evil Queen, the innocent and the queen who is utterly insecure on her throne of power, always thinking someone will come along to unseat her, when in fact, she is the one who will eventually unseat herself.
I still don’t know how much the owner told her about my meeting with him and his partner after she raised allegations of stalking. He apparently is capable of keeping secrets, even from her.
He is very nervous all of the time, which may explain why he searched both of my computers, and why he is constantly looking to find fault with me.
But this job is all he has, henpecked at home, not at all respected by his kids. He needs to play god at the office because he has nothing else at home.
In some ways, he’s the perfect man for her to gravitate towards, a man with just enough power to give her what she wants, but too insecure to use it against her.
I wonder if he’s given her a raise yet without the excuse of making her do extra work to get it.
