Today, I finally got to meet the new Director of my department. She was my intern eight years ago, the one I declined to recommend for a full time position due to interpersonal conflicts. She knows. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Today, the girl who tormented my life for nine years was hired at my part-time job. We're assigned to work together on a three-month-long project which will involve tons of communication. FML
Today, I had an epic, two-hour conversation with a brilliant, beautiful future leader of our industry. She's an intern. I'm just some loser horndog of a senior manager in another department. FML
Today, a coworker introduced herself to me and told me she hopes I enjoy my new job. We've worked in the same building for two years. I say hello every time I see her. FML
Today, I was super flattered to find out that one of my former white collar colleagues recommended me for a job. It wasn’t until the phone interview that I realized it was at the lunch counter at her new office building. FML
Today, I found out that my assistant is now my manager. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML
Today, the girl I hired and trained took my director's position. She's not even been there a month. I didn't do anything to lose it, they just decided she was more qualified. At least I was good at picking employees I guess. FML
Today, we had a family day at my new job. I used to have a very abusive boss in my previous position, who even slapped one co-worker across the face in the office, prompting me to quit. Guess who turns out to be my new manager's wife… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hopefully she'll act professionally and not put that against you

Maybe she forgave and forgot?

At least she was able to become successful despite your lack of help.

what did you do to the website. I can't see other comments except the top ones. I liked the other one better.

Well, you were in the wrong eight years ago. Though it is weird that she actually remembered, you still screwed up back then. YDI

Years ago I worked for a guy who just did not like me, and although he wasn't my direct superior he succeeded in getting me terminated. 2 years later I'm a lead on a multi million dollar project for GM's Hummer division and guess who shows up on my staff? Yes.. The same guy. The company we had worked for let him go. But the thing is, he was very qualified for the job. So I stayed out of his way and we had a pleasant working experience together. Soooo... If she's smart.. She'll see your value rather than staying stuck on the past.

If the interpersonal conflicts were as a result of her being unprofessional, well, sounds like she learned and has moved on up. I've had conflicts with other nurses over the years, and have been able to see past them when the person seemed to improve and wanted to behave in a professional manner when we worked together. Hopefully she will too!
