I'm back to work which isn't irritating except the dude I had been keeping under control last year had all summer to cause trouble. Now I have to repair a Mom relationship that I initially mishandled but was healing which became a shit storm under his guidance. I'm thinking he really can't help himself. He talks and talks and talks about whatever pops into his mind first, telling himself that he is building relationships but he confuses and misdirects people to the point that old wounds are reopened. I've got to keep the clown in a box.

Vindication! Finger-pointing had started over some missing paperwork the district needed. I did not pop off when they started blaming me, giving instead enough info for everyone to discover the truth on their own. I was thanked for my patience yesterday. Maybe it is possible to glide above the fray.
