sushi,
Normally, I try to do a lil' editing to minimize post length... dis time, not so much.
Alone can be comforting and therapeutic at times. Other times, we're here fer ya!
No one should feel da need to apologize for not posting when in an ebb mood. We all go through mood swings, not counting da immediate 'must tend to' situations and da occasional 'it's just fer moi' distractions.
As to your 'rough time', be assured that if there is anything within our powers to assist you with, let us know (conversations/PMs work very well while protecting privacy)!
AND, thanx fer all your prayers fer all of us!
Thank you all SO much for your prayers, love and support! I started a job 3 months ago and am working closely with an immature 25 year old girl. She's a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde type...sucking up to the higher ups and being mean to her coworkers. She is constantly giving me crap. She tries to create a negative work environment and then gets upset when I don't react...at all! I just ignore her behavior which sets her off even more. I've talked to the owner of the company and she "apologized" saying "I'm sorry if you think I've made you uncomfortable". This is girl talk for "screw you!" She said I misunderstood her, she talks to me the way she talks to her friends who are her age, and I don’t understand because I’m old. This job is her own personal stage of drama, drama, drama. I have a very strong work ethic and just want to stay focused on work...I don't do drama! She actually threw a fit one day saying "Why isn't anyone listening to me???? Why isn't anyone paying attention to me?????".
The owner has given me more responsibility, asking me to take on a huge project and of course this girl started acting out even more. I guess she's threatened by me and must be frustrated that she gets absolutely no reaction from me. I continue to treat her with kindness...I refuse to be brought down to her level. I can be a really mean, vindictive ....*, but I choose to take the high road. I have my own serenity prayer...Lord, please give me the strength not to tear her a new one!
Otherwise, I love this job and quite frankly, I'm damn good at it! I'm working in a German deli/meat market. Growing up, I spent my summer working in my grandfather's grocery store and I just loved working in the meat market (yes, I was that weird kid). I inherited the gift of BS from my grandfather....damn good at that, too! I could quit this job and go somewhere else, but I would be giving up a dream I never even knew I had...to get back to my roots. It's just depressing as hell...especially knowing that I'm letting this punk run me off.
Thank you, Porchers, for letting this be a place where we're comfortable getting our rant on!

Happy birthday Russell! I hope you get at least a couple of things on your list!
Robert~ I'll be praying for you and your wife. Please let us know how the both of your are doing!
Can't remember if I shared this. If I did forgive me, if not here is a morning chuckle....

I'm a long time, veteran lurker! I don't post much but spend a lot of time reading and learning. I went from Blu to ProVari two years ago and haven't looked back. It has become something of a semi-controlled hobby, if there is such a thing? I went through clearos and carto tanks to RDAs and RTAs as toppers and DIY too. I think I've found my happy place for the most part which could be a problem for the husband. He gets me nice things for our anniversary (#25 this year), my birthday or Christmas
I just tell him what he gave me and he's happy he's off the hook for a gift!
Thanks to all. It's been a tough year (MIL Alzheimers, my health, work etc). The fun, laughter and advice here (and on the front porch) has been a big help.
Welcome to the porch WH ... glad you came out from behind the bushes and joined us.
YEEHAWWWWWW I just won a 60ml bottle of BWB joose over on the weekly contest thread......they have several of my favorites............shameless bid for more posters on that thread........whut kin I say???????????
Nice!
Nice list indeed!
Wishing you the best for a positive outcome.
Oh dang ... sorry this gal is causing trouble. I like your attitude on handing her. Hopefully she'll self destruct and you can get back to fully enjoying your job.

Welcome! Sorry you've had so much to deal with this year. Seems like we hit years like that and you just have to get through them the best you can. Finding laughter helps a lot. Or maybe you could just declare an "un-birthday" and treat yourself with something nice.
My prayers going out to you and your wife for all to go well.
I too admire your skill and/or survival instinct in dealing with the situation, Sushi. In proper Zen form, I'll hope that your co-worker will be inspired by your conduct and professionalism, will change her own behavior for the better, and that everything will be hunky dory. Can't help it, I'm a real optimist sometimes.
It is best to have positive expectations. However:
That "apology" even denies Sushi's feelings. If I were Sushi, I would document this co-worker's behavior on a daily basis. She is being just plum nasty.
I am sitting at the hospital waiting to get my semi annual chest xray for lung cancer prior to my November follow up doctor visit. I'm using the hospital WiFi and just out of curiosity I ran a speed test. You have got to see this upload speed! Download as expected, upload was a real surprise. Guess not too many folks upload stuff while they're in the hospital so the shared pipe is wide open!

Robert, I've been thinking of you and am sending good vibes your way!
Sushi, my goodness, that's an unfortunate situation you are in, but I think you are handling it in the most effective way....silence.
Even though it may cause you grief, try to remember that bad apples are soon removed from the basket; bit simplistic, I know.
