that she's a tyrant.  The CEO asked her to come work for MP basically 
as a favour to him.  She has connections here (her great grandfather 
was a slave on the plantation). He's even told her that if she has 
*any* trouble to come to him.  He's caught her with the door closed & 
said something to her, and she opened it for a while, but now it's 
back to being closed. This, I think is part of the problem:  she 
thinks she can do whatever she wants to & no one will do anything. 
I've told one of the other members of the management team about it 
(he asked me what I was doing outside), & he promised to talk to my 
boss. MP is *very* concerned with Customer Service now (we're trying 
to get accredited by some organisation) so we'll see what comes of 
this.  In the meantime, I weave on a lap loom so people can see how 
it's done.  (It's better than nothing)

Peace & Plenty,
