Irritation

I find myself becoming irritated at the lack of common sense displayed by my work counterparts, its eating me up inside.

Maybe you should step back 3 yards and punt, you know like can't see the forest for the trees kind of thing. It's worth a try if you come to this point, at least before you leave.

I don't think you can really escape that sort of thing. Every job I've had has found me disagreeing with many of coworkers. But, I think that's just natural. As long as it doesn't affect you directly, I would just ignore it and make sure I do my job the way it needs to be done.

...you don't work for the US Postal Service do you? :)

I know what you mean though...but agree that there will ALWAYS bee at least one co-worker who gets under your skin....unleass of course you are self-employed...

.....but then again maybe you will just end up annoying yourself.:rolleyes:

At the last job i had, the manager abused me....he would make me do all the bitch work like cleaning everything, the walls even:rolleyes: , but then he would make me clock out, and go drive MY car somewhere and get him lunch, OFF THE CLOCK, then come back and clock back in....

Often he would tell me to be at work at 8 or 9, and when i got there, he would make me sit and wait to clock in since business was slow (which is illegal mind you)...

He even, on chirstmas eve when he KNEW i had to drive 3 hours to get home for xmas, kept me later than usual despite the fact that we had NO business, to clean the walls and shit....AGAIN...

Finally i had had enough and one day when he told me i could get off at 8 and he kept me to 10 saying to clean this and clean that i said "clean it your GODDAMN SELF WAYNE!!" and got in my car and left a tire scratch damn near the length of a football field....the whole county must have heard it.....ill never forget that day tho....

Sorry for the somewhat offtopic rant....you just brought me back boys...

"I have isolated myself for so long that I just can’t relate to people anymore. I find them repulsively primitive, unable to control their emotions and instincts. They hear no reason unless you beat it into them, which I have never been very good at. A slightly modified line from a country song says it best; “When it comes to brains they got the short end of the stick”. I know that this is a horrible attitude, but it is one that is being reinforced every day that I’m on this God-forsaken planet. Road rage, riots, parents killing their children, children killing their parents, even children shooting other children- all of it has proven to me how utterly hopeless this world is."

Thats not even the worst of it....i mean technically i could really sue his ass for sexual harrasment, but with lawyers and going up against a big corporation like that, "i say why bother"....
