Help!
I am working very closely with a lady and I am finding her really difficult.
She seems to think I am odd (I'm not! Honestly!) and it's as if she doesn't know how to treat me.
She laughs at me a lot and I do mean at - I will say something totally un-funny like 'the traffic is bad at the town centre' and she will burst into peals of laughter, punch me and sit there laughing saying 'you are funny, oh you are so funny.'
She asks me a lot of questions and I don't like answering them because they lead to further probing, mainly about my children. So yesterday we had 'bet you're dead strict, do you shout at them, do you smack them?' I was er no, don't have to - 'oh, you're a COOL mum then!' I feel like I keep needing to explain myself.
And I get my accent commented on a lot and she stares at me very intently - it really makes me uncomfortable.
Can anyone suggest anything to make the next four weeks bearable??
