Work was pretty bad today until 2.5 hours before my shift ended. Everyone was in a bad mood myself included. I forgot my phone and I was distressed because none of the phones in the store dialed out. I had to get ahold of my mom so she could tell my mentor I’d meet her in the parking lot after work. So I was crabby because I didn’t have my phone.

When I got to work there were several people on break. I clocked in and then went to my work area. I saw someone else doing something else, so I thought I was just taking her space. A few minutes later, my coworker came back and was upset I was in her spot. One of my other coworkers told me to just stay there. There are two spots on that side, and I would of moved over. Instead she went to the other table. I could hear her complaining about me to the other people there. How was I supposed to know she was working there? Especially since she doesn’t always work in that department. I would have moved over so she could of had the good side, and so we could both work there. But for some reason she wanted to work there by herself. Which isn’t fair since there is room for two people.

Then my other coworker was Just being rude to me. I can tell she doesn’t like me. But she doesn’t need to be so obvious about it. I snapped when she angrily kicked my garbage can to me. I yanked the garbage can up and put it right
Back where it was. Shaking my head angrily. I hope she saw.

After that, I went on break and took my Ativan. I planned my break around the last 45 minutes she was there, so I wouldn’t have to work with her. Then everyone left half an hour later and I felt much better with just me and a couple nice coworkers.

Am I overreacting? I’m not a mind reader.

Also, I overheard someone mentioning federal prison and that lady who wanted to be by herself. Is it possible she’s going to prison? Can you still work while waiting to go?

Luckily, I have tomorrow off, then I work wens- Sat. I still like the job. And I have a request in for permanent night hours. But how do I deal with These people without losing it like I did today?
