What might be making you a tad apprehensive, but might not, as it's too soon to tell - Page 12

Thanks for checking in. I'm glad you are focusing on figuring this all out and getting in a better place.

Trilby · 01-28-2013, 08:31 AM

I'm so glad you've got some IRL support and a "team"---it's nice, isn't it? Having those people know your story and on your side.

Hugs, girl.

I'm glad you made it home for the deluge! LOL!

Thanks for checking in, infi. I was just thinking about you this morning before I logged in -- glad to hear you've got some good support!

Slight slap in the face # 1.

Pattern, or just an oversight? We shall see. I have yet to have any discussion with "THE PERSON." I don't know if there are plans to listen to me and work with me.

But I will stay calm. I don't have to stay here. I'd like to, if things would change as they should, but I don't have to.

BigV · 01-28-2013, 10:13 AM

Welcome back

Good luck

You're clearly doing better and you're gonna do great.

footfootfoot · 01-28-2013, 11:58 AM

I'm very happy for you, infi.
You da ... ahh ... woman

Good luck as you start back, IM.

So glad you got your big girl panties on and you are ready to get on with it!

infinite monkey · 01-28-2013, 02:21 PM

I don't view mental health issues as not having my 'big girl panties' (an abhorrent phrase anyway) but I'm going with the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you were trying to be funny.

Big O' Wig says we will meet next week to discuss the issues I've brought up in the past, and see what we can do to make things better.

Thanks everyone.

Maybe my Arrested Development, Interrupted, was not only what I needed (to stay alive) but was also an eye-opener here?

glatt · 01-28-2013, 03:29 PM

Let's hope so.

Managers can be really lazy and just ignore problems hoping that they will go away. They need a kick in the ass every once in a while to remind them that the problem still exists.

I'm confused. So you were going commando at work? And that's why you had to leave? How did they know you weren't wearing underwear? Shouldn't the dress code only cover what is visible? You could have been wearing spanx, for all they knew.

I missed a key plot point.

slowly start building a guillotine in front of Big O' Wig's office...

I know, I know...my first impulse is to chop off heads. It's my bad French blood that makes me do it.

infinite monkey · 01-29-2013, 07:07 AM

Thanks youse guys.

So this cow orker just came into my office to tell me she thought she was coming down with the flu and needed to go home because she felt terrible. She wanted to get my reassurances that everything was going to be alright and that we would be able to cover for her if she went home. She sat in a chair 5 feet from me for about 5 minutes to get these two thoughts out. And she broke down in tears about half a dozen times. She's always been a talker (in a bad way) and has used me as her therapist. It's all fine and good, but get your damn contagious ass out of my office. I said three times that we didn't want her staying at work and getting other people sick and that she should go home now and she didn't get the damn hint to get out of my office. I never said the words "get out" but I was screaming them in my head the entire time.

So she didn't cough or sneeze, and the door remained open. My office is small, about 8 by 10. How likely am I to get sick now?

footfootfoot · 01-29-2013, 11:12 AM

I bet not. As long as she didn't sneeze or cough.
