Thanks for your sympathy, and I will remember your views on cancellations when I am thinking about cancelling a client. At least I don't cancel my clients so that I can go to lunch with co-workers. The awful office mate did that a few months ago. I was so appalled!
Thanks for asking about my meeting with the boss. I used a tip from my T and "congratulated" him on summarizing a core dilemma of mine in two sentences on my eval. Of course he wanted to know more. It actually was a very good conversation. He went off into projecting and free associating about his own leadership qualities and dilemma. It was as I suspected. His writing that had as much to do with his own struggles with the same issue as it did me. So that made me feel better. It was kind of funny watching him process mostly all alone, though. I just sat there and listened. Occasionally asked a question to clarify, or made some comment. It was like major role reversal. Kind'a cool.
I'm so glad I got to see my T before this, though. I would have been much more touchy and defensive in the meeting. And I know I couldn't just ignore it. I always have to KNOW!!!! Something I need to work on, just letting things roll off at times.
Thanks again!
