Questions

I'm having some issues right now, and I have questions about them.

1. How nice am I to be to pseudo coworkers? Hag was rude enough today to bring food and drinks to everyone else in the office, and wouldn't even look at me. I know I'm a temp, but damn, I'm there too. It strikes me as so unbelieveably rude. Yet my boss thinks she's great. How do I handle this?

Ah, hell, screw the numbers. I guess I'm just not sure about how to deal with issues of being nice versus being respected. It's hard to figure out how to be a girl without being talked down to, ignored, or undervalued.

If there's anyone out there who can give me advice beyond, "Buck up, girl! You'll have your own practice soon"; anyone who has real advice, I'd love to hear it. Seriously. I feel really overwhelmed.
