I think that when the situation changes we get a chance to see people from a very different perspective.

I think we probably have a built in idea of a person due to people who have influenced us in the past, No one is as secure as the image presented and it is nice to have found understanding, I suppose one has to become a diplomat

I worked with someone who really annoyed me
We seemed to be competing. It was mutual - the irritation. Then one day one of the chiefs turned against me, tried to push me out. This person became enraged, and stood up on my behalf, she and a couple of others. Showed herself to be a true friend. Recently i saw her again, and as normal we cried as we said goodbye until next time. We should never assume anything about anyone.

There always seems to be a new perspective when one is not bottled up in a previous environment! Good to see this happen, too! sam

It was a real feather duster as well, not the synthetic ones that they call feather dusters these days. It had real feathers. I am glad you liked 'Fake Bird'.
In 'Online PR' you have intimated how funny it is that people's opinions of other people can change over time. But remember this woman you are talking about has gone from being a director over you, to you now consulting for her. The whole thing has reversed even if it doesn't seem that way. I hope it all turns out well for youl

Perhaps - like good cheese - she has matured! Off to check out Hootsuite now. Sounds just what I need...

How lovely it is to be able to make sense and figure out reasons of why people are behaving in ways that we don't naturally prefer.
And congratulations for having your online work done excellently
