Well my associate Falloutboy had an extended meeting with The Boss. He and her discussed many things including her perceived attitude, the lack of ANY information in emails for errors, the dislike of having to play email-go-round for about ten or twelve emails to actually pry the information out of her or the testers, the snippy put down emails we were getting on a daily basis, the general over use of negative reinforcement, and so on.

After she left him and I had a pow-wow regarding the talk. It seems that she has altered her opinion of him and might take some of his commentary under advisement.

The question is for how long?

The second question is do I wait for her to swing by and talk to me, or head her off at the pass and raise it up? I learned my lesson back in Febuary/March (after multiple headbutts over the fourish months before that) that any perceived criticism (with solutions - I ALWAYS provide solutions) no matter how it is present is always a "bad thing". After a while I just stopped caring. Apathy was a decent blanket to hide under when the rounds for "is there anything going on or wrong I should know about" was presented.

Oh office politics make me "lullz" as the kids say.
