OK, I work at a small company with only 1 other female employee and the rest (six) are die-hard fisher/hunter/wild outdoors type guys. I know that they aren't the animal lover in the sense that I am but I must admit that I'm SICK AND TIRED of being called the "Big Loser" because stories that they sometimes tell upset me. I really try my hardest to block out what they are saying but since I work in a cubicle, it gets kinda hard not to hear.


Today, it was really bad. I was late to work because as I was running out the door to work, Marigold puked all over the kitchen floor, and I was explaining that I had to clean it up (YUK YUK YUK!) and that's why I was late. Anyway, that started them down this long road of talk of how nasty cats are, and what they like to do them (very very cruel & unusual punishments) etc. etc. etc. And they don't just say this about cats, it's about dogs and any other creature that they don't deam "useful".

They very well know how I feel about things like that, and I tried so hard not show how very upset I was because I didn't want them to tease me.

Anyway, I know this post is pointless, but it's been nagging me all day, and it feels better to have it off my chest. Thanks, Pettalk!
