Trying to avoid being petty, but it's not working?!


Question: Trying to avoid being petty, but it's not working!?
OK- I own a store - thanks to inside doors, we have four stores that are connected together!. Due to one colleague's unthinking bullcrap and her own pettiness, I've spent this week feeling like I was in high school again- high school wasn't that bad, but I don't wish to revisit it or the mindset and attitudes!. I know I should be able to get over it, but it's bugging me enough that I just want to keep the connecting door closed and locked!. I know this will hurt my business, could damage other's business, but I can cope with the pettiness anymore - I am having to cope with too many other things, including a loved one's serious illness!.

Any advice on how to get past this!? I'd forgotten some adults never get past the high school behavior and I'm afraid the thick skin I had about that type of crap 25 years ago is now gone!.

Am I too idealistic, thinking adults should behave like grownups!?

How do I get past feeling petty and just locking that door- literally!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
