First day back at work after a week off. I am trying to keep in mind that going redneck crazy on a co-worker would probably not be a good idea.
I'm trying to tell myself not to read things into events. BUT the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, right? I have a co-worker who wants to run the way things are done in the office. She doesn't want any of the responsibility. She just wants the power.
I'm trying toi figure out how to explain what I'm angry about without going into great boring detail.....
Bottom line is that she submitted something to our boss that effects me and my job duties without consulting me first. I made a couple of suggestions which seemed logical to me. She and the office specialist (manager) sent out snotty e-mails basically saying they were right and I was wrong. grrrrr.....
Gotta provide a bit of history....
This co-worker has a history of creating an us vs them atmosphere in the office. The previous boss made effort to eliminate or at least control it. We have a new co-worker in the office. Today there was a ton of scurrying back and forth across the hall, talking behind closed doors. That's the sort of "nonsense" that went on in the past. In the past I was the "them" while the other three were the "us". I can see it starting all over again. I DON'T NEED THIS SHYTE!!!!!
Adding to the stress, I'm stuck with a $75 dollar concert ticket I bought for a friend. This person has a history of backing out of things after she's committed to them. I called her about the concert when I first heard about it. She said she wanted to go. Some time later she started to waffle about going. I called her not once, not twice, but THREE times to make sure she still wanted to go. She swore she wanted to go. This weekend she called to say she "can't" go. I offered the ticket - FOR FREE! - to another friend who said she doesn't want to go. So, now, not only am I going to the concvert alone (I'm OK with that) but I'm stuck with a $75 ticket no one wants. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! 
I drove home from work with Miranda Lambert blasting so loud I could feel the bass. It helped some, but I still feel like my head might explode.
oh yeah, while I'm whinging....
I have chronic back trouble (herniated disc). I did something yesterday to aggravate it. I have a red hot poker running down my tush, leg and foot.
LIFE SUCKS!!!!!
