What a day
How can you have such a fun weekend and then go to work and have such a crappy day?
I had Monday off and my brother and SIL came to visit for the weekend. We had a great time.
Talked our heads off.
They went home around noon yesterday.
I went to bed early last night around 8:30 then woke up around 3:00 and tossed and turned till 5:00. I decided I might as well get up and go in to work. I had a lot to do but not a lot of time to do it in. In the afternoon, I had to go to a class, "How to deal with a difficult person". The class would have been good since I am having to deal with a difficult person at work, that is the reason I had to go, but the person who is difficult was in the class also. I let her get under my skin one day and ended up getting in trouble, even though the big boss and the human resource person said I really didn't do anything. But we both had to attend this class. And it was an interactive class. Now tell me how you can interact when the difficult person is the reason why you are in there? So, anyhow I have been stressed knowing I had to attend this and then stressed during the class. But I did learn that she is a Consistent difficult person and those kind of people you cannot change because they have been that way all their life and have figured out how to use it and make people miserable. As I have said once before, nobody on the first floor wants her back. So, we are stuck with her on the second floor.
Of course, to her, everybody else is the problem. She is a little angel
and she never does anything wrong.
So, I don't think the class helped her at all.
Then when I got back to work, I thought I had lost my wedding rings. When I am nervous, I have a bad habit of twisting my rings and I thought I had dropped them. I did have a ring on my middle finger but not my ring finger. I was freaking out since I have had these for 35 years. Had a few people helping me look. Sent out an email. Then on the way home from work got hold of my husband and found out I had left them on the dresser. I don't know why I hadn't noticed them missing earlier in the day, other than I was so stressed out over this class thing.
Well, now I feel like an idiot. Actually, I feel like I am losing my mind. LOL
Sorry for rambling on, but just needed to get this off my chest. Which reminds me, Jean, that was a funny mammogram story. But I have heard that when you are larger they use the bigger plates and then when you lose weight and if they don't know you had WLS they kind of look puzzled at why you needed the larger plates before.
Well, take care and I think I may have another early to bed night tonight.
Nothing much on except the new president and that doesn't interest me much.

Mickey,
I don't envy you, going through the work situation you are in. Been There Done That. At least you were given some information from work ei. the class on difficult people. I liken them to sandpaper. It hurts like the dickens when it's happening but in the end it leaves us with the rough edges sanded off. Then along comes those wonderful people who polish us and we are like a wonderful piece of polished wood. Too many people like to cause controversy, its their own way of getting attention.
Glad you didn't lose your rings either.... Hopefully tomorrow will be better...

oh mickey i feel so bad for you!! i know exactly what you are going through with this person...worked with one like her before...i told you that story already so won't go into it again...just let her go in one ear and out the other...only way to avoid stress...its hard to do but it helps some!!!
hugs
JeanB Wow, does this ever sound familiar!
We have one of "those" too... no clue how they stay employed... none at all.
I had a long letter all typed up ready to go stir the pot, but have reconsidered since everyone has advised me to just let it be.... Hard for me to do really, especially since this person violates nearly every company policy on a daily basis and it is against the rules for me to do nothing...
So... I just pretend they don't exist... hard to do, but I don't know what else to do...
I know how frustrating this is, and you sure have my sympathy.... hang in there and do your very best to always choose "the high ground" on everything that has to do with her... hopefully she will eventually get enough rope and hang herself... that's what I am hoping....
