i need to vent so i don't go full hulk on an older lady i work with.

she just approached me to ask about an account i've just started working on and asked me how long it took me to grasp it because i will need to start training someone before i head off on mat leave in april. i told her it took me a few months to understand fully but i'm still learning.
she said "you're not the brightest one around but you're not dumb". ummm... is that supposed to be a compliment? because i'm insanely offended and can't believe a grown woman would stay that out loud to somene's face.

i replied by REALLY sarcastically being like thaaanks. and she just staight faced me. she is geneally pretty blunt/rude so this isn't that out of the ordinary but i's a whole new level.

if only i could head to dinner and down a few glasses of wine...
