So, I am in a really weird mood right now. I'm both happy yet anxious and upset. I have to work with the mean girl tomorrow, the one who told me I was "half a**ing my job" on Friday. But, my mom roleplayed through it with me and I know what to say to her now, if she brings it up to me. I will tell her "I feel..." and proceed to tell her what I think. I will not let her bully me around again. I will also tell her that "I would like it if she could politely tell me how to fix things, since I'm still new, rather than just complaining about it." I hope I have the confidence to say all of this tomorrow, but I"m really hoping it's all for naught. I just don't want any confrontation tomorrow.

But, the reason I'm so happy right now! I posted before, that my dad wasn't going to let me see a doctor about my sleepiness... Well, I don't know how my mom managed, but I get to go see one! So hopefully I'll find out what's wrong.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes. <3

Sounds reasonable to me. You have multiple things going on which caused you to feel multiple emotional reactions. That's good. It's bad when you feel anxious happy miserable all at once for no reason.

Yeah, I suppose that's true! I just hate feeling two different emotions at the same time. It's hard...

But, I'm really happy now. Especially because I made two new friends at college and we hung out today for the first time together! It was really awesome. I liked it a lot.

Whoa girly! I try to keep up with you Hydro but must've missed the part where a supervisor actually used those words with you???

This idea might be unreasonable and way too confrontational for you right now, but what if you told her, "I thought quite a bit about what you said and the language you chose, about my work skills on Friday, and honestly find it very unprofessional and not conducive to a productive work environment." Then stand there and let her respond. No response, rolls her eyes, or walks away from you, you could politely state, "I'm going to continue my work now."

Seriously H, that could be considered a hostile work environment, she using that language with an employee. It was/is her job (not your job) to teach, train, guide, motivate employees. She had a problem with some way you were doing something and she obviously has crap for managerial skill.

Her manager needs to know about it, in my opinion, she is a lawsuit waiting to happen which could damage an otherwise good company. When talking with the manager if you do, it's always best to stay professional, state facts calmly, leave emotion out of it (easier said than done). Just do your best facing her tomorrow, I'm rooting for you.

do keep us posted on how things go for you!

((((hugs)))))

I can't tell my boss about it. I already told her about another supervisor I was having problems with. She's just going to think that I'm a baby and can't handle anything. But, if she brings it up with me (my boss, that is) I will tell her what really happened.

But thank you! I am really hoping that it will go well. I don't think I could say that to her, though. I'll have to try something else...

But thank you all.

Thank you! I hope so too! I just hope I can go soon. I'm really annoyed with all this tiredness. I skipped my classes today because of it. D: I didn't want to drive feeling like this... I really hope things go well, especially at work today. I have to take my break with her ,but hopefully she'll keep quiet and not talk to me today.
