I would like to send a little shout-out to everyone who has been very very supportive during the last 2 months.

For those that haven't heard, I was forced to leave my new job at DreamWorks. The personality differences between me and my boss were too significant to overcome. In other words, her personality was coarse and abusive, and mine wasn't weak and yielding. And if anyone comes at me cursing and calling me a (bleeping) idiot, I'm going to stand up for myself.

This is an odd time. Do I believe what she said, that I am inexperienced and just not very smart, or do I trust myself and know that she is just a poor manager?

I know the answer, but it's still hard not to question. How can someone think that being rude and disrespectful, abusive and unforgiving is an acceptable way to be? I've been told that this business is full of people like that. Well, screw that. If I can't go back to New Jersey and face my grandparents because I've begun treating people like that, then I've ruined my life. I refuse that.

I am in a really bad head space right now. How on earth can another person make me feel this way? Is it because I let her?

I know that things will work out eventually - but I just can't understand the process...
