Dealing with the most negative person I have ever met...
(Preview)
She happens to be my boss. ~sigh~ Constant criticism, not one iota of appreciation in the 8 months or so I've been working for her. Always complaining. I've never had such a hard time staying positive since I got to recovery... but only when I'm around her. I feel like she's a black hole... a giant chasm....
