Can I take back what I said about working in a (relatively) great place! FGS!

An employee was served today (one of the "troublemakers" that I'd written about previously), and I happened to be the one that greeted the process server. I thought it was just a client/vendor and he was giving me something to give to her. I looked down, and it was a Summons. I looked at the guy and said "are you a server?" he replied, "yes" and I said "well I'm not sure ***** is here. I'll be right back". Like a total idiot I still had the freekin' summons in my hand!

It was NONE of my business, I didn't want to read it, and I didn't want to have anything at all to do with it. I tried to give it back to him and explained she did in fact work here, yes, we work with the same firm, but she was not specifically MY employee, and I would not accept responsiblity for the document. He kept pressing on and on and then started in with "sub-processing".

I tried to tell him absolutely not, but he kept pressing the issue. At that point he had possession of the document (again). He said "he was just going to leave it on the credenza for whenever and if ever she came by".

Then, a male colleague came over and said the guy had to leave and we wouldn't accept the document and the guy left. Oh great. Another reminder of (a) how my "voice" has no purpose or meaning and (b) I do not have a certain part of the male anatomy so therefore I should be cast aside and/or ignored.

(If I had emoticons I would be EMOTING all over the place)

I was totally triggered. After the guy left, I had several p/a symptoms, felt horrible and just wanted to run out the door. I felt horrible!

OK, so not only are these troublemakers stealing food, they are dealing with legal issues. I HATE THIS! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE.

(and to the extreme, I NEVER WANT TO COME BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN).

(we are in a Class A building by the way and I did speak with security. Unfortunately, he claimed he was just making a delivery and didn't identify himself as a Server, so that is how he got up to our floor).

Now that fight or flight thing is subsiding, I want to just go to sleep. And I still have a 2 hour drive ahead of me just to get home (405 freeway and Carmageddon all summer. eeks!)

Thanks for reading!
