Sabotaged

yeah, I see first hand how people can try to sabotage your progress. tactics used including
-asking irrelevant question
-drawing you into endless "discussions"
-challenging every decision or suggestion and force you to defend it
-do anything under the sun to waste your time
-back stab you in front of boss

Yeah. some bloody idiot attempted all these moves. Stupid idiot. Why would he waste so much time picking on a "part-time" worker whose main aim in life is to SEE her hubby climb the corporate ladder while she check out the bargains, places to pick strawberries and new countries to roam? (aka tai tai) He is after all the boss's golden boy, and it is soooo sooo obvious that he gets preferential treatment all the time!

I am taking the crap as a compliment.

Retaliation?

nah. A tai tai's main concern would be how many lines on her face. Anything that cause wrinkles are to be avoided.
