Appeal

My letter from M said that I had a right to appeal and I had to let them know by Thursday 20th November. Today I have emailed her to say I will not appeal. She had thought my deadline for appeal was 18th November.

For the three working days this week M has barely spoken to me. If she has asked me to do anything it has been on email and if she does ask me to do anything in person it is at the end of the day as she is walking out of the office. So her body language speaks volumes - she doesn't want to have to talk to me or deal with me any longer.

At the end of the day yesterday, she asked if had I sorted out her IT problem - I was unaware of it. This was said again as an after thought as she was walking away. She didn't want to hear that I couldn't do what she wanted so I had to explain on email. She emailed back saying that I should just fix it she was too busy to deal with it. On going to her desk to show her what I meant (logging her off to log on as administrator) she closed her machine down and then said it wasn't that important it could wait until Monday! I call her behaviour not just childish, but bullying. She can't do things face to face in an open office so bullies me under the secrecy of email. Her treatment of me is shit.

She, who once depended on me as (I quote her, 'her rock'), and who gave me a large sum of money last year (at my birthday) for something I could not have afforded otherwise, to now treat me with such disrespect and intimidation is stressful to say the least.

I try to do the good karma thing and thank her and him mentally for everything I've been able to do, but to try that against this kind of behaviour, I'd have to be a saint.

These petty, petty annoyances are driving me mad.

I will not appeal. I am getting more than is the statutory allowance in these cases, albeit based on my part-time salary rather than my full-time salary. No, I will not appeal but will wait to see how her behaviour will change from now on.
