<p>Showing up for h.r. won’t help – she just gets ****ed off at my presence.</p>
<p>I try to be “genuinely nice” but it’s hard. Personally, I’d much rather have a good relationship with her (even without the recommendation in mind) than a bad one. It’s much easier to get along with people that to fight with them. I really like having teachers that I get along with and I’m sure they enjoy me because I’ll go way out of my way to help them out if they need it.</p>
