am I wrong?

[sara3]

so... Peter, the arse I sit opposite at work... we've had many fallings out which, honestly, have been 90% his fault. absolutely every time I've been the one to smooth things over, mainly for the sake of the team as it makes for a bad atmosphere.

he didn't like one of my wisecracks way back in March, took me aside and bawled me out. he said he just didn't like me, amongst other things. I was shocked and very upset but he smiled and said, "I'm glad I said that!"

we've not spoken since. he's since tried to move desks but there was just nothing else available.

so, 7 months on we say good morning (well, he kind of grunts) and will talk about work issues when absolutely necessary, and that's about it.

today I had to see my boss for a scheduled review, and we discussed this situation. he asked me if I would talk to Peter with a view to putting it all behind us and starting afresh.

honestly, I'm sick of the sight of him. he often upsets people and I feel he thinks he is winning something here, and if I am the one to try to sort it out again.. more points to him. I don't want to be friendly with him.

so, I said no to the boss. he asked me to have a think about it, and I agreed.. but I really don't want to. I know the boss has a lot of respect for me and I hate to let him down, but I really don't feel I can do this.

so... am I wrong?

sorry for waffling, how unlike me!
