step

Today there was another step in the Crazy Sue Saga.  I met with the HR Manager who came out to interview me about my complaint.  I found the interview redundant in that I merely repeated all the things I had written in my complaint, but I suppose some people write short explanations and then extrapolate in the interview.  I, on the other hand, wrote a huge explanation and then didn't talk so much.

The HR guy was pleasant enough, friendly and fairly easy to talk to.  Also very professional and noncommittal, which of course he must be.  (I wonder whether this kind of thing takes up most of his time as a Human Resources Manager, because if so it must be a terribly tedious job.)  He asked me if I was open to attending mediation, which sort of got my back up because I am really exhausted with people suggesting mediation to me without recognizing that you cannot have successful mediation with a crazy person.  But I told him if it was the best deal he could offer me, I'd take it.  But I hoped he could do better.  He made noncommittal sounds and wrote things in his notebook.

He promised he would get back to me soon with his findings and that was it.  Now my part is over and I wait for the verdict.

On another note, BB is finished her chemotherapy and is now in healing mode.  And miraculously feeling well enough that she has decided to get married this summer after all.  I am very happy for her, happy that she is doing so well, and sad for myself that I now foresee a summer of showers, stagettes, pre-parties, parties, after-parties, and so forth.  I do not like these kinds of social obligations and will obviously try to avoid as many of them as possible while trying to remain supportive and blah blah blah.
