Being Intimidated
On Friday I got an im from my ex asking me about programs that are offered to students. I began to ask a ton of questions to get more info on what he was asking of me. He got frustrated with me for asking questions. I then told him to give me a min. while I look up some information. So I'm looking up information and my phone rings. I close my door to take the phone call. There is a knock on my door. It's my secretary telling me that he was waiting for me with student in tow. So I rush my phone call to assist him. The student is his cousin. Now I'm a little confused. I was sure that his cousin already had a degree. So again he's asking me for programs that are offered. My first question is "what kind of program?" My ex gets a little ticked and flippantly tells me that he would leave his cousin in my office. So I got frustrated and started to pull info out of my butt. I looked like a total fool. Well it turns out that I was right in asking the questions becuase he cousin wasn't looking for bachelors programs. He was looking for graduate programs. I felt so stupid for not being calm enough to ignore my ex's responses and ask the questions that I needed in order to get his cousin the correct information. So after getting his cousin out of my office it was still bothering me that I made an a** of myself. However, at about 10 min. before it was time to go home I check my e-mail and there is an apology from my ex. He explained that he was having a bad day and didn't understand y i needed all of that information. We went back and forth a little bit, but I ran out of time before I could respond to his last message. I can't believe that I allowed myself to be so initimidated by him. I can't believe that I still care what he thinks about me. Uggh!
