Blowing off steam again……
Well I am probably going to be even less liked at work than I was before. I called the boss this morning when I got home. I let things build and then I blow! Things have not been that great with my job since the bus accident! Changing drivers after having worked with the one I had for so long. Oh, I get along with the new driver okay. She has a big mouth though! I knew her before and thought it would be great, but did not know her as well as I thought. Some mornings I just like to b@#ch a little to blow off steam, well she has gone in and repeated everything I have said. Everything I say is true, and I should address the crap with the boss, but I feel he just blows off my complaints. This morning I was upset I was hardly out of bed this morning and the home phone was ringing, I answered it and it was one of the drivers wife and she was calling him in sick. Okay, he has an early run, but I hate work business on my home phone. They can call hubby’s cell or leave a message at base, hubby calls and checks the answering machine when he gets up. I talked to the boss about this when I called him. I told him to take our home number off the phone number sheet and to tell drivers to call base or hubby’s cell! The second thing on my b@#ch list was the disgusting filthy way people talk in that place. I hardly ever go in and I don’t care how they talk when I am not there! Swearing or a little off color joke I can handle, but when the talk gets disgusting it embarreses me and I speak out! There for I am overly sensitive and a baby, because I don’t like the talk. The mechanic had even made a comment, I don’t know if he was being serious or if he was making fun of me (I don’t get his sense of humor) but he told everyone, to behave themselves until I left because Bette Jo is a lady and doesn’t like that kind of talk! I don’t understand why anyone would like that kind of talk and if my hubby talks that way it is news to me, because he respects me and he does not talk like that at home. My new driver is a female and she was like one of the disgusting talkers on Friday. I talked to her about this, this morning. I told her I don’t like that kind of talk I find it disrespectfull and emabarressing. She told me she was told about it on Friday, by another co-worker. The boss is going to talk to her today, so she probably will be mad at me this afternoon. So be it, because I am there for the job not to make friends, it is just easier when everyone can get along and respect each other.

Just had to get this off my chest before going back out on my afternoon run!

My diet plan is going okay! Thank goodness I can have what I crave during my reward meals or lately I would have really been messing up big time!

Have a wonderful day!
People like that have no respect, for others or for themselves, and aren’t worth being upset about. Forget them!
Everyone needs to vent sometimes. Not saying it would help but ask them how they would like it if someone spoke to their mothers, daughters, or wives in a way that makes them uncomfortable.
Sorry you had such a bad day. Maybe the mechanic really does respect you.
I hope you are feeling better now.
Give ‘em hell Bette Jo!
You have every right to speak up when what someone is saying something that you find offensive. Perhaps they should be greatful that you don’t file suit.
When it comes right down to it, I would rather be respected than liked. Stay true to you!
