Today was a total waste of time at work. I was so exhausted I could barely function at work, and what made it worse was I had to replace a co-worker of mine and do everything she was responsible for which is everything I am not familiar with.
You know what I find hilarious about these days…? When other people have them I am supposed to cater to their needs and react to their inability to function with condolences and sympathy…but when I have them I just get yelled at and made to feel like an idiot. I really should have just called in and missed the entire day…it’s not as if I was an asset to anyone today and then at least my co-workers would have had a ligament reason to be cross with me.
You know what else pisses me off? Two of my friends work where I work…and I am sick of hearing them comment on everything I do. Every day it’s something different. Today they told me I was grumpy…and it wasn’t as though either of them mentioned it as a passing thought or an observation…they mentioned it as though I were not entitled to being “grumpy” and had to change my mood at the sight of their mere appearance. All that I want to do in this situation is scream “Where you here at 8:30? Do you know what my morning was like? Do you think you being here now makes anything that happened earlier remedied in some way or fashion? NO!”
I also don’t enjoy getting looks or the silent treatment or rude comments for getting to leave before either of them. My one friend nearly denies my existence when I am about to leave…but you know what? I could give a shit less. Neither of them where/are there as long as I have/am…and I am entitled to leave. Even I leave 2 hours before either one of them gets off I have still done twice the work they have done… I guess it’s just lack of respect and a clear lack of self awareness issue on both their parts… maybe if I thought either of them looked past their noses they would be a little gentler with me and maybe in turn my mood would be in a position to change…
