Laptop Heaven & Training disaster

I finally bought me a laptop! I love it, it is exactly what the doctor ordered...or something like that. I bought it mostly for writing but the only thing I have written on this so far is this blog and some emails. It is a 14" compaq model, silver with 80 gb which is an obscene amt of space for what I need it for. I thought that 40 would suit me fine. it's such a relief to have bought it and not stress about it anymore. I did so much research on the type of laptop that I want that I know that I made a great choice, also, I have a 3 yr stinkin' warranty from Future Shop so there is some peace of mind right there.

The training disaster is poor communication breakdown between me and my trainer at work. It is so bad that I don't want to go to work at all on Monday. She told me off on Friday in front of all of our co-workers (close quarters in our office so everyone hears everyone's conversation). The problem began when I asked her a simple, specific question regarding a "funding" i received and she proceeded to explain the whole thing but I didn't ask how to do it, I understood that, so I said, I understand that part but I am asking about this sentence here...well apparently she took that to mean that I think I know everything. I understand that I sometimes get a "tone" in my voice when I get frustrated or I think that someone isn't really listening to what I am asking. Also, she made a lot of unfair statements about me, to me which when I am confronted hostily (does that word even exist?) my reaction is fear, shame and anger all at once. I cannot express myself at all ...my mom would do the same thing and I could not nor still have an adequate reply. I know I haven't written all that could be written here but hopefully on Monday we will have spoken with our team leader and come up with a solution, it's just so maddening. The fact is she is not listening to my questions and will proceed to tell me what she thinks I am asking about or should be asking about and when I tell her that that is not what I am asking about and try to clarify she gets upset and takes that to mean that I don't need her help. Also, when she asks a question, sometimes it's not what she means to say and so I am answering what she has asked but she is not satisfied with the answer because it's not the right one, and proceeds to ask me again regarding something and I tell her that I've already told her the answer and then she is upset with me. I can't read minds! Okay, I know that we can both be clearer in our communication with each other but how she treated me on Friday was inexcusable. Okay thanks for reading my vent. Later....I am going to watch "An Inconvenient Truth"...I'm excited.
