We're All Adults, Aren't We?
As a nightly ritual, a therapeutic anecdote, I'm trying to train myself to blog with inspiring thoughts and words of wisdom. But since this is a site of professional Black women, I'm sure yawl will understand.
Some days when the haters are coming through the woodwork and you can't even go to the ladies room to escape them, it becomes a little challenging to stay above the fray. Should I rise above the nonsense (though damaging) or roll up my sleeves and get ready to throw down. Do I attack back with a vengeance or ride the wave knowing that this too shall pass?
Well, I've decided to approach the discourse head on and inquire truthfully with, "what exactly is the problem? Can we get pass this, or are we now and forever more mutual enemies?" They will be stunned. The look on their face will be priceless. But really now, aren't we all adults.
I love the straight up, straight forward approach when in an environment of people who only know how to use the back door. Let's bring it all out and to the fore. You'll either shut it down, or have a very open and honest adversary. In either case, they will be defeated.

I must admit that in my line of work (hospital nursing), I rarely have any encounters with haters because I am much too busy to notice. I guess I am fortunate that way. I do remember when I tried office work, there was a lot of hating going on. I guess people have too much time on their hands. Candace I hope you will have better success than I did in the office arena. I opted out and decided to go back to taking care of hospital patients. It was much less hassle except for the occasional rude docter which is something I could live with.
