I worked six days straight this past week. My assistant at work yesterday refused to do her job. When I confronted her about it, she was rude, hostile and defensive. I became defensive in return. I stayed respectful, but I know I had an attitude and was sarcastic as I made it plainly clear to her that she wasn't doing her job. I ended up reporting her to my supervisor. I was so fed up by that point that I had shed a few of what I call "angry tears." I explained that I wasn't sad, but that I was pissed. She said that it was okay and that she does it, too, and that I just discovered my breaking point (a long stressful shift and a coworker refusing to do her job, leaving me w/2x the amount of work to do). She let me take a few breaths, calm down in her office, and then told me that I was right that she wasn't doing her job and that I should write her up.

I'm trying not to think about it on my day off, but I can't help it. I have mixed feelings about it. I'm also exhausted and frustrated w/the fact that I agreed to work 6 days this past week. What was I thinking? I knew something like this would happen. I was so tired already before I had this issue w/this coworker. I really like my job but it's been rough on me this past week. I'm dreading working w/this person again. I'm dreading going back to work, and I hate that feeling.
