“Hello, Loraine!”
I try to adopt a completely friendly and sympathetic tone to put my colleague in the best possible mood. After a completely insipid second class, I told myself that I had to try an intervention.
She greets me enthusiastically and remarks:
“You’ve arrived early.”
“Yes, I thought that maybe it would be good for us to talk a bit before class. The first two sessions allowed me to settle in a little and see your way of doing things...”
She looks up from the sheet she was preparing. I take my courage in both hands:
“I have some suggestions for you...”
I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. Besides, she frowns as if she’s already not happy with what I just told her.
Don’t let yourself be put off, Leona.
However, I decide not to start a revolution today, I’ll start slowly
