I am taking my week off and feel really good. It has been quite a roller coaster but some good things are developing. I didn't lose my temper or cry, that is a good thing! I decided to drop my training proposal fully, a huge disappointment to me and providers. However it was not a supportive environment to try something new. Still struggling with that but it had to happen. I saw my supervisor for our regular meeting yesterday and to go over the plan for my absence. I felt like a total verbal ninja!! I was awesome, I kept asking questions when I wasn't sure and held my ground on things.
The one thing that was really interesting was this issue about him sending a meeting invite that i declined. He said i was meeting with him too late, the last day before my vacation. My reply was that our previous 2 meetings were cancelled by him. So he brought up that we apparently had a meeting, the one i declined. I had another meeting on my calendar and he could see that. He seemed very confused, like i was not allowed to decline. I did offer a solution, if he sees a conflict when he wants go meet to simply call me. If it is something i can change then i will. It ended up with him saying he was going to check with department best practices to see if he can cancel other things on my calendar simply by sending a meeting invite. Quite disturbing considering that could have been a personal appointment, i had already talked to him and got an agreement that i don't need to ask permission for personal appointments if they don't affect program or a planned meeting. (I have that in meeting notes documented)
I feel like things are turning the corner, 3 of us met to talk about strategies to work with him and support each other. Any of our ideas could be said to also support him in his job such as follow up emails to conversation or communicating when he visits site what we are doing.
Okay crochet and walks and grandbaby time and use all those movie gift cards that parents gave me!
