Bye, Claire Garrison

I'm feeling so weird today. I started off feeling so weird today. Just weird about people and a bit self-conscious. I need to work out. I need to clean my room. I need to take care of myself.

I think I just got Claire fired. I feel kind of badly, but not all that much. She went postal in the office, and it was a little frightning, actually. She was basically throwing a temper tantrum. She was slamming things around, cursing, yelling at people (including me), and throwing things off of her desk. She was yelling, "I quit." She's been tearing things up and yelling, "I don't care." So, I told Deb. Ugh.

I'm also afraid she'll suspect me of turning her in (even though everyone was witness). I never "tattled." Kirsten had a talk with me about it. Well, in email form (it has to be read from bottom to top). Ugh. I feel awful about this:

Tasha!!!! You need to tell her why you want her to buzz you down!!!!

Well that didn’t work. I thought she was calling to call me down. Oy. She wanted to know about fax machines. DAMN

Good. I’m proud of you. And remember, you aren’t tattling, you are just trying to preserve the integrity of your workplace…and make it feel safe. It sounded like it didn’t feel safe.
Love you like crazy
Kirsten

Awesome. Okay, I will. I sent her an email and asked her to buzz me down.

Yes, you really should go tell her everything today…so that you can get it off of your shoulders and not be wondering “should I tell her?”
Deb will totally respect your request. She will have your back.

Damn it all. I should tell her to keep it confidential, then. I don’t trust Claire and I don’t want someone crazy like her to think I’m a “spy” and trying to do her in.

You’re right, though.

Hey
When I told deb last week about how claire started crying, deb got upset that I had waited so long to say something. She said that if anything happened like that again, I needed to tell her asap. That is your que to say something to her. You should tell her today.
