i dont know anymore... i want to work with her, but i really am finidng it difficult atm. As I was walking to our main building saw her today waiting outside my head of schools office - she looked at me and looked away. I knew she was there to see her about the issue...
When i got back my head of group (her husband) asked if he could talk to me . He basically told me how stressed she has been and i wouldnt find anyone as qualified in the department as she is. I dont know or understand why it would be any of my business as to how stressed she has been. I havent got a clue of what is going to happen now....
