When I was in my first job - over thirty years ago – I was chastised for being ‘too emotional’ about my work and taking criticism too personally. Maybe this has contributed to a certain reticence towards defending my ideas and my work. So, when a certain person asks someone else to do something I thought I was doing, I get angry, but I have to try very hard not to show it, because that would be ‘getting emotional’ and being a prima donna. Would I prefer it if he came straight out and said that my contribution wasn’t good enough? Does he do it this way because he’s too much of a coward to tell me to my face, or is he totally insensitive to my feelings? And isn’t that right anyway, wouldn’t it be better if I didn’t have feelings, or at least kept them under wraps?

I seem to have got lots of ads about cakes.
Maybe somebody in blogland thinks I need cheering up

Not sure what happened to the cake ads. they were there earlier, honest.
Isn't that always the way with cakes?
