My busybody coworkers

Jun 19, 2005 22:58

Another Sunday over. Means back to work tomorrow. Blech. Yesterday I overheard my coworkers talking. It's hard not to sometimes, they talk so loudly. They were talking about someone who no longer works there & it was about an incident that happened 1 or 2 years ago. It was stupid. It reminded me of why I dislike them so much. Well, so really just having to go to work everday is a constant reminder of my hating them, but their dumb gossiping emphasized it. I won't go into detail about what they were talking about. I mean really, it was past history. Who they were talking about angered me tho. I was tempted to go out & tell them to give it a rest, that they really knew very little about what they were talking about. It was a "had it been me, I would have______ (insert alleged act here)" crap. Yeah, it's easy to say you would have done what you think you would have, but reality is different. They are clueless about what he was thinking when it happened. But there was no point in my saying anything, it would have added fuel to their fire. & again, past history. Completely pointless right from the start. I know it was partially b/c he wasn't there to defend himself, but then, why should he have had to anyway, especially to them.

My former personal assistant used to go around telling lies about me based on her own opinions of how she thought I was living my day-to-day life. Others thought I was doing things I wasn't, & 1 other girl in particular thought I was benefitting from fictional events. At first I felt I needed to defend myself, but I finally realized it certainly was no business of hers (or anyone elses) what I was or was not doing & I stopped.

& yeah, I had a personal assistant. Not that I wanted 1, least of all M. She just had a bizarre burning need to know what I did every minute of my day. She even (tried to) keep track of what she thought my schedule was. When someone finally let it slip that I had left work early 1 day to get to class, she made it her business to keep track of whenever I left early. She made it her business to keep track of my lunch breaks as well-----

Sorry, I can no longer talk about this as it's getting me angry & I have to get to sleep. I'll continue this thread another time soon, otherwise I'll end up stewing about it half the night.

gripe, work
