Bad ending to the long weekend.

Bad ending to the long weekend.


Was so looking forward to the long weekend but an email early in the morning from one of the staff shooting me down in an unprovoked act made me so upset and teary.

Must be one behave in this way? Making things unpleasant for people. My colleagues don't really like working things out with him. His own colleague passed comments about him and his attitude to me.

Displaying the ugliness of humans, stabbing and backstabbing people for self satisfaction. What does he gain from that email? That I will not want to deal with him anymore, which I did send an email to my manager to keep me out from any interaction with him and let my colleague handle him instead. In the first place, I was a replacement to handle him as my colleague was not around.

There was a buildup of unhappiness that I had to vent it out. Being alone in the office; one had left for the airport, the other at the site. I bruised my knuckles from the wall but it didn't help. The gym session only managed to take a small portion of the anger away. The need to hit and whack things is strong.

Sigh. I am still so upset. I really do not like being around with such people. Why people are so complicated as people gets older? I rather spend my time in company of pets or just being myself. No gossiping, no unpleasant situations, the politics. Pets either enjoy spending the moment together or ignore. Simple, uncomplicated.

It was a tough week. I wish I could weep in a corner over the unfortunate events. It is 3am now, I yet to send out my report. Trying to work on it before I sleep.

Happy weekend everyone. Hope I don't get any work calls over the weekend.

I think the same way as you do about pets.

Well... At least most of them that is....?

crazy client - there is just no pleasing some people, is there? i feel sad these days when i witness a blow-up - it is just not win-win for anyone is there?

i think the fact that such boorish behaviour gets to you is perhaps a sign that you yourself are a bit overworked... losing yourself in a spa somewhere might do wonders...

Sorry to hear this.
When it starts to get to you again, take some very deep breaths.
Think of the things you have accomplished (not just in the job, but in life, too).
Remind yourself that this, too, shall pass.

There is politics everywhere but it depends on how u deal with it. Don't take it too hard which is very important as doing that will surely spoil yr mood. For such a person, tell yourself u pitied and sympathised with him for what he is and lucky u r so much better than him and this is enough to make u feel good abt yrself. So dear, go and treat yrself since u hv that 'feel good' feeling and if u need company to make u feel more happy, just let me know.
