Don't let the troglodytes win! We know that you are intelligent, nice, and hard-working. And you have a good sense of humor, can handle whimsy, and know deep down what matters. That puts you several steps above them.Originally Posted by slick
My boss is an effin' bitch.....
I'm sitting here in tears once again.Why does she feel the need to put me down and why does it get to me so much? Today I really do feel stupid. Why don't they just fire me already??? She really doesn't want me here and I don't want to be here.
And not to play junior psychologist, but she probably feels better about herself if she makes other people feel bad. This is HER problem, not yours. We love you! Time to keep an "I hate" journal at work. Buy yourself a little, easily hidden notebook. Whenever you get really down on yourself, take a moment and make a list. Writing it by hand is somehow more satisfying, and has the plus in that no one can search your computer and find it ...
I used to do this at a certain former job, and my "I hate" list would always start with "canned peas" - lifelong hate there, and then expand to include whiners, people who would rather complain than take action ... I worked at the time with a woman several years my senior who had a 40+ mile commute in heavy traffic. She complained about it all the time. For years. I finally had enough one day, and when she started in, I looked her square in the eye, and said "Then move! Or quit!" ... and she didn't have an answer for several blessed seconds.
Bartender, spiced hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, please! Can't have 'em in real life any more, as they all seem to have corn syrup in them, so I'll have some here!
