Update

Thank all of you again for spot-on advice.

Before the event, I went in person to discuss these issues with the shop owner.

I guess I caught her on a good day - she was completely understanding of my leariness and admitted she was not handling the situation very professionally.

I showed up @ 12:00 and read until 4:00. No problems, no worries. Met many nice folks, and made some new friends.

You all were right - boundaries, structure, professionalism - all of these I established for the event - and everything fell into the proper slots - perfection.

Thanks again for every post - each of you provided the exact remedy for the occassion.

Blessings,
V.

Wonderful ! Good job in remaining professional and talking to her---in person!-- to let her know your concerns and your boundaries! I'm so glad she took it well and that everything worked out well for you.

I love happy endings!

Venefica:

I am so happy that you listened to your intuition, stood your ground, and then went one step further and addressed the issue with the store owner. The gift to you in all of this was being able to establish sacred boundaries. The gift to her was that someone gently called her on her stuff, and she acknowledged that she was not addressing issues as she should.

I think that the next time she wants to do something like this, she will handle it differently.

Blessings,
Bonnie
