Joy, This is a reminder to me of how many times I have been presented with this lesson.
I once had a boss who I considered obnoxious, condescending, and unreasonable. I would argue with him, get angry with him, and let him irritate me at every turn. Even though I was remote, we had nearly daily contact.
I finally realized that he was who he was & I was who I was. I accepted this and stopped fighting. A few weeks later, there was a reorganization, and he was no longer my boss.
I was put under somebody equally obnoxious; I was spit up on the shore that I hoped I had left behind.
This time I realized that I was responsible for how I accepted this new boss in my orbit. My approach to dealing with him was entirely different.
A few months later, the company was sold, and everything changed.
For me the lesson you relate in this writing continues. It is the circumstances and situations that change.
