It's a lot harder than I think, personally, but it's easier to do when I let myself pretend everything is a dream [pull a Jack Sparrow] and turn on the foreign language music. One of my workmates--a super--is giving me a hard time at work. Not by bossing me around unnecessarily, but by treating me with contempt and no respect at all. She pretends nothing's wrong when Julee--head super--is around, but any other time she treats me as though I've done something to offend her. She's not talking to me, so how can I ask her what the hell crawled up her butt if I'm not even sure it's me that's causing the problem? The last thing I want to do is turn it into my problem when it isn't, but I'm tired and frustrated and crying after my shift.

It's a library [I love libraries!], why is she taking her frustration out on me if I don't recall doing anything to offend? I'm getting tired of her childish ways. I hate to be romanticizing the idea that she's training me for a librarian's fate, but she keeps laying me out as though we didn't get along a week ago. We were fine until last week, why do I bug her now, after five years?

In true anime best friends style, maybe she's making you hate her because she's going to leave pretty soon and doesn't want to have a tearful exit!

In all seriousness, it sucks that you have such a supervisor, or to be on non-talking terms with them.

You might as well talk to her and get it out in the open. Kelene had to do that with her boss and they found out that it was all a misunderstanding of another employee. After talking it out, they realized that they should have asked Kelene about the issue sooner, instead of causing her grief. My suggestion worked for Kelene then and it might work for you here. Just be nice about, no reason to offend or come out nasty making it a big deal. Good luck!

I agree with Mathias (http://forums.ancientclan.com/member.php?u=1600), its better to have a talk and find out whats going on then to argue for the rest of your job life.
