I'm a hard ass

I got to play hardball with a loosey goosey collegue who wants to do a certification his way not the way the guidelines read.

I have to admit that it felt kinda good. I spent 16 years married to a man who tried to throw it back on me, that I wasn't understanding--when I tried to stick to the rules---ie, the IRS was the last big one he tried to dump on me. Man, I love it when the truth wins.... and I didn't end up paying for something I didn't do...

I don't think this guy today expexted to run into me and my experience with someone like him---I was kind, polite, direct and courteous. I'm just not going to certify people who haven't taken the training because he wants names on his rolls.

Did I enjoy it a bit too much? Ahhh shit, I have a part in this somehow---even if its only 1 % I have a part--- Well, its not over yet. I have to see him tonite. There was a time in my life I would have somehow found a way to duck out of this tonite---

I am a grown up I am a grown up
I don't have to be right or to win--- but I don't have to sign certificates or participate in this again next time they want the training. That's where I am with this now--- wonder how it lands?
