Kill her with KINDNESS! I'm in this same situation with a person I have to see 5 days out of the week. Remember, misery loves company!
She would most likely love to see you fall. Even if she makes you mad, come in everyday with the same bright attitude! A wise person once said, what someone else says about YOU is none of your BUSINESS!
Brush off what she says about you BEHIND your back. It just shows how immature she is. When someone comes to tell you what she said, politely decline the information.
It'll just get you down if you decide to accept it. Anything she says to your face that is rude and unprofessional document it! Also try avoid being in her presence as much as possible.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
