Pacifying the bear

There is a bear in my workplace. It is seemingly constantly in that state of post hibernation grumpiness, and I, in particular seem to anger it. Things came to a head this week and now I need to find a way to pacify the bear as I know that although I'm being asked to change my behaviour, the bear will never be asked to change, and as grumpiness is in a bear's nature I'm not sure that is possible any way. I've found the whole situation very upsetting but after getting over the shock (and significant irony) of someone complaining about my behaviour who I find a passive aggressive bully, I've decided that peace is far more important to me in this situation than justice. So now I'm going to be unfailingly polite and a civil servant to its crazy minister as much as that will stick in my throat, it's what I need to do.

Now, where can I find a giant pot of honey.....?

urgh.
but how very mature of you! I'm impressed (not because I don't think you are mature but because I know how hard I'd find doing what you are doing).
good luck!
