Gah!  
Okay, so I really hate speaking in public, makes me ill to think of it to be honest, but over the past month or so we've been running (at my suggestion) an intense refresher training at work. With me doing the training - of course. Thank God for powerpoint is all I can say!

So I get to the end of the training and it's gone pretty well until the biatch who's covering my supervisor's maternity leave sits up at the end and puts this really angry tone of voice on saying "Can I just point this out to you all?" She tried to say everyone had been doing something wrong and that I was really in the wrong for not telling them - but it was her that was wrong and she would not back down!

She made a complete fool of herself and made me stammer - something I haven't done since I was a kid. I hate her. There aren;t many people that I actually hate. She's one of the very few.

Pllus, to top it all, I've literally just found out my email address I use for most of my yahoo groups is BOUNCING!!!! For the second bloody time in two bloody weeks - NO IT BLOODY WELL ISN'T!!!!!!!!!!! I hate Yahoo and Freeserve right now!

Sounds like you truly have been having a bad time of it! I can't believe the GALL of the woman at your work for interrupting you and berating you and her fellow workers in such fashion! Was she DRUNK? That is ever so ill-mannered! People like her make my blood boil! But you shouldn't allow it to make you feel badly,or think that it reflects on YOUR presentation! It's nothing to do with you or your skills!

I hope the mess with your Groups and your email gets sorted out soon!

LOL! I can just imagine forcing Patsy to take a blood alcohol test... *grin*

I actually had a few people who were at the session come up to me and saw how well I'd done and just to ignore her. The problem with her I think is that she doesn't know how to do the job properly so she lashes out at people, and infortunately I happen to sit at the next desk and act as the go between for her and the juniors in the department. Still, the girl whose job it is comes back from maternity leave in June - yay!
