I am ignoring her. As I said, it's just a hassle I don't need. I was far more concerned about her continuous rants about everyone else being wrong. Just sitting there and listening to her, I felt so sorry for her because she is clearly unhappy with everything (except her kids). But I can also see that some of the unhappiness is of her own making - through her own arrogance and attitude.

She's currently trying to steer me towards an in depth Hebrew linguistic analysis on the nature of bans. NOT where I'm going with the thesis. And she's doing that really annoying thing too where she tries to write your thesis for you - the old, 'oh, just leave those concerns with me and I'll let you know what to do.' Uh, no. I was trying to discuss some issues with her and she just brushed me off with a 'leave it with me' - the implication being that she will then hand down her wisdom and all answers from on high. I don't want her to do that. I want to work it out for myself, I want to do the work and I really would appreciate a supervisor who could remember that this is my project and not hers. *sigh*

In an interesting side note, her hubby kept calling (driving her nuts) but I did note something fascinating - when she talks to him, she a) is incredibly subservient and b) takes on a Scottish accent. Hmm.
