RN we just got home from dinner and after dinner we went to Office Max and got me a new computer chair. YAAAA! My old one was in pretty bad shape, but it lasted a long time.

RN You are right Hukd--I was so close to quitting, I spent half the night thinking how I was going to call my boss and do it. Then I got up in the morning and went to work. Very, very sorry if I come in here and primal scream about it all the time. Surely it sounds like a bunch of whining.

A certain person at work tells me to shut up pretty frequently among other things, and I can't figure out how to get her to stop. Trust me, I am not saying anything to warrant a "shut up" and am usually not speaking to her anyway. Psychogically that place is a terrible fit for me. My new solution is to zip my lip while emanating anger. People know I'm mad but can't offically fire me for pissed-off body language.

Anyway, thanks again everyone for letting me vent--I know it's tiresome.

RN, you don't have to apologize for being frustrated, silly! I don't think you'll find a way to get that person to stop telling you to shut up, but know that (s)he is enjoying watching you get more and more angry with it. Continue to actively seek alternate employment opportunities and just do your best to take what they say with a grain of salt. Try saying "thank you" when they say something like shut up. When you do that, you remove their power and they won't know what to say next! And since your body language won't be negative, it might just turn things around so that the shut-up person may start to become the next target for being fired!

Good luck on the job hunt front.

RN I'm so frustrated. Would someone just hire me already!! With this economy and my line of work they are still laying people off, not hiring people. I'm tired of looking for a job, sick of my relationship, and just generally fed up. Sorry but I feel like if I don't tell someone I might explode.

RN I have started journaling, so maybe I can get my frustrations out in a healthy way. I just wish I had more support.

How about when the person says Shut up, you reply with something saintly like, May the Lord give you peace?

RN - ktbb is on my mine: hey, go to the "Dang the economy" thread.

RN - I'm actually feeling good about myself! I've been pretty productive for a day off.

RN

Nyheat, I just left my job where I was experiencing that exact thing. I was being called stupid, told to shut up, having decisions reversed on me and then being made the scapegoat when the fall out happened. I was so miserable, and this person appeared to take great joy in seeing just how bad she could make it every day. Something in me finally snapped and I gave my notice. It took a month and a half to find another position - which I know is not bad in today's job market, but I really could not stay another day. Luckily, I had enough savings to tide me over.

While I wouldn't advise you to just quit unless you have a good back up plan, I would encourage you to continue getting support from others. I would never have lasted as long as I did without having good friends to remind me of my worth. Sometimes I had to call on them several times a day. Good luck to you...

RN I can't sleep, and I guess I'm glad I don't have a job because I'd probably get laid off or quit cuz of the office politics, esp if it was like the last job I had.

RN my DH is all sad. His buddy Mel from work called and asked if he would come to see him before he dies (when I say work, I mean they both retired from work from the same place). I guess he only has a couple days at most left. He's going to go see him tomorrow at 1 pm.

RN cuz it just doesn't taste as good as it used to. Mom always bought PDQ, I guess cuz it was cheaper. I loved that stuff. Quik is just a poor substitute.

RN part deux, not only had it expired, I think it was like 8 months past the expiration date!
