The funny thing about such bosses/teachers is that when you look back, they often make the most interesting and funny stories - talk to any waitress and they'll spend more time telling your about the customer from hell they had two years ago - and now, they think it's funny.
the other thing you can do is pity them. Just think how sad, miserable this teacher is. |
I second this. Simmiah, I had a very similar high school teacher (well, many
) who had anger management problems.
This teacher took an active dislike of me, and made my life hell. I even made a suicide attempt one night, to avoid facing school the next day.
I stuck with it, though. And I now realize that this was the biggest mistake I've ever made; I should have switched schools. Other students switched, to avoid getting this teacher, but I felt it wasn't worth it.
The fact I graduated from a prestigious school wasn't worth the abuse and frustration I went through, though.
This is what Steve is talking about, when he mentions the "evil bovine master".
