warning: prepare for negativity

 If you ever want to talk to me about something you are worried I might have a bad reaction to, please, please, just talk to me about it.  Don't warn me that we have to talk about X and then say let's do it tomorrow.   I'm just going to be frustrated.  I could also be slightly angry if the topic is one that could be cleared up in like 3 minutes.

I was sent an email today saying that we really need to talk about X tomorrow.  This is obviously part of the continual power struggle that has become even more pronounced since I got my degree. I just hate that I got an email and  both of us could have just taken a few minutes to talk about it since neither of us had any meetings, but instead I get an email of warning about tomorrow's conversation. 

I need to stop myself now. Okay- next post will be more positive, I promise.

Ugh. I hate that too. It is so passive-aggressive.
