[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 213409, member: 1991"] Oh, by the way - the difficult secretary. Do not make the mistake of assuming she is bad at her job, is unpopular or is a nasty person. Chances are she is the DA's most valuable and highly prized staff member. You need to be nice to this woman and do not bad-mouth her to her boss. It is thanks to her that he has as much organised timetabling as he does have, she has been hired to keep small annoyances away. Whatever he said one day in one place is not necessarily what he means. Of course, that doesn't matter to you - he DID say it, in front of witnesses, and has to be accountable. But that iust HIM, not her. She is just doing her job. Take her some donuts maybe, but take a bite of one first to prove they aren't poisoned. And don't expect the bribe to work - just watch it make her very unsettled because it won't be what she expects. Neither will the thermos of soup or the cushion and nanna blanket be expected. That makes you look VERY bag lady and that looks semi-permanent. Very scary, for them. It puts your desperation on a very practical footing. Go for it. It's time for action and not the gnashing of teeth. If teeth must be gnashed, let them be difficult child's, or the DA's, or someone else. Not yours. You don't deserve it and it's not getting you anywhere. Marg [/QUOTE]
