This was actually based off a 2019 post about management. And the same day where I trashed many of my Facebook-friends, by blocking them and their S.O.’s profiles

Short Narrative: Conflicts resulting from an email from the previous week

Long form:

Attempted to begin to work on the newsletter, Aly mentioned that “Jackass” would come in at 9:30 to discuss the email. I started to make remarks where I defended the reasoning of the email, and Aly was cutting me off (i.e. not listening), I started to get loud, and Aly responded that “I do not appreciate degrading emails”. Aly refused to listen to how I felt being not heard and felt like “the only adult in the room” last week being attacked.

[Hopeless Sidenote: no validation of the concerns whether it was right or wrong; they assume I am the asshole that wants to be always-right.]

Aly had threatened to “bring you home as you are slamming chairs” (which was by accident). [She was 5 months pregnant, but all it did was the chairs wiggled and swayed but not move by casters.] This individual would then go to the art room to cool down.

Jackass came in around 9:45 and asked if I needed anything. I stood my ground and said I only need things for the newsletter. I then felt dragged in* when he made statement about me and Aly not in. he asked about if this is going to work in the long run. He then started to drag me into the subject about the email and explained my reasoning, I started to stand up and started to head to the door and spoke for another five to ten minutes explaining my reasoning. Jackass had made couple to several references to “one more thing”, the last time he called me out for “rolling your eyes”, and I responded “well it’s 10:00, I need to get the newsletter done”. He did explain to me that we are getting mixed messages from you”, and I responded to that I am getting mixed messages as well. There was mentions of trying to work as a team, and I had said that there is a lack of listening. When I said that I emailed Aly in the spring, that I suggested she pause and listen, he replied back of “are you doing the same?” I said well I try to the best of my ability of which he said “well she is too”. I responded “well  I do have a pervasive condition and struggle with these situations, Aly does not.” I responded that “I feel that there is conflict, but I feel your peers do not”

[Hopeless Sidenote: *Classic narcissistic playbook, where they “suck you in” to their version of the drama. For my purposes, I call it Bissel’ing]

he actually started to raise his hand to indicate he has a thought.

There was also an apparent disagreement to resolving, when Jackass told me “you poured a large gas to the fire”, I said, I tried to <dissolve> or let the situation simmer down, he then responded, claiming it was countering; and I responded that I tried to calm down and tried to move on. He also claimed “you sent four page email” of which I said “actually two” he then reacted as “hyperbole it was pretty long”

This was typed after the fact, in documentation, one has to write as soon as possible to prevent fading. On bad days, the documentation was play-by-play, on good days it was a paragraph of a narrative. The latter is what I wanted. I am thankful I did this because it tells you the shit and the narcissistic abuse coming from typical people; framing me as the sole narcissist
