Just an old toothless hag

My god I've been GRINDING my teeth lately.  At first I thought it was dental related, and spent a delightful $90 finding out it was not.  But since paying more attention to the way I hold my mouth most days, I really do think that this insistent jaw pain is actually stress-related

Oh honey, try not to let their youth get to you. Don't they remind you of yourself, fresh out of university?

While you're reminiscing try to remember how EASY those who had been doing your job for years made it look. The silly mistakes you made, and the embarrassing stumbles as you desperately tried to prove yourself.

You're a beautiful, wise and mature woman and I bet at least a few of those young girls are wishing they will be as competent as you are one day. <3

I have the same kind of reaction to stress, or at least a similar one -- I clench my teeth, even in my sleep. Leads to awful headaches. :/

It sounds like part of what's going on with the manager is poor style on her part, which is probably just her finding her feet with it all. I think overall you seem to be dealing with a stressful situation pretty damn well. :)
