Pain in my mouth and pains in my a$$
I have had an official toothache since Wed last week. Thursday I made an appointment to see the dentist and begged for some pain meds since I can’t go in til Monday. So I’ve been on Vicodin that last couple of days. I’ve been drifting in and out of consciousness all weekend. I can’t wait to see the dentist… I’m wonding what he’s going to reccomend… what’s causing the pain.
The drama of office politics has become almost intollerable lately. I had a casual conversation with two women I thought we both friends and trustworthy. One went and twisted my words and spread her twisted version of what was said to other people… the end result she mad someone mad at me for no good reason. So this other person who previsouly yelled at me in front of everyone for a very similar circumstance (and then privately appologized for being an a$$ to me) came and talked to me. I tried my best to set things straight. I let her know what I actually said and what I actually meant were not what was told to her. I even had a talk with my manager about the situation. But now I’m left with this feeling of betrayal. If there’s anything I can’t stand it’s being lied to or lied about. I just wonder why this certain group seems to have it out for me… what did I ever do to them? I come to work and I do my work and I go home. I hardly ever talk to anyone. I always help when needed. I just don’t get it… I thought this girl was nice. Now I know better. I told my manager that I’ve learned my lesson. I will no longer be talking to anyone. Why do people have to be mean? I am concidering looking for a new job.
I hope you get to feeling better soon–nothing like a toothache to make ya miserable. Glad you got some meds to help til then.
As for that running around and that girl opening her mouth…geeze..what is she 12? She should know better–but some people like causing drama though.
Hang in there girl.
I hate toothpain!! Hope the dentist helps!
I am so sorry, office politics suck. And I hate brown nosers, which it sounds like this girl is. She must have low self esteem to be doing that.
((((RACHEL)))))) I hope the dentist fix your toothache hon.
The office politics is a hard one. I learned long ago to not talk about my personal life with my co-workers because of this very reason.
I hope you don’t have to find a new job, but if the environment is no longer a positive one, I would say look for another job.
Women eh? I hate working with women, they tend to be more spiteful and back stabbing than men. Keep your chin up ok?
Hang in there girlie - hope the doc fixes you up today. As for office politics - it sucks. It does help to just keep to yourself - if you’re known as someone who never comments on anything, then no one can put words in your mouth, and they’ll look foolish for trying. If you can resolve this on your own, then you’ll come out a winner, but like Nancy said if it’s a negative environment, maybe it’s time to polish up the resume and move on!
Thanks everyone.
I know I can count on my buddy slimmers to pick up my spirits.
OFFICE POLITICS gawd! so sorry that happened to you
“I come to work and I do my work and I go home”…
You may be making someone look bad
you know? i once had a similar captious, untrustworthy individual complain that “all [i] ever did at work, was WORK???” (Those were her ACTUAL words!) she, on the other hand, never worked at all, all she did was b*tch, criticize, surf the net, complain, make excuses as to why she couldn’t do her job (she’s gone now btw, lol.. we celebrated her departure!!)
Betrayal… ugh… that’s the worst… i remember the feeling in my stomach and chest the first time it happened to me… i wanted to scream and choke-a-bitch, slam her head through my monitor! Pants her in the middle of the sales floor!!! leave dead rats in her fridge, repeatedly!
hang in there rach… give it some time, the disappointment will die down a bit but.. yaahhh… of course i know you know, coworkers aren’t always necessarily friends and sometimes the ones who are most eager to hear it can’t wait to share it!
