Check yourself before you wreck yourself

How is it possible that practically every single one of my coworkers somehow managed to aggravate me this past week?

Number One-don't insult soldiers...EVER! That is just asking for a beat down, even if you are pregnant with a bastard child because you were too idiotic to use a prophalactic. I've said it once and I'll say it again...Prayer is not a viable form of birth control.

Number Two-don't not tell me something and then be a bitch to me when I know nothing about it. That is sheer stupidity. It takes approximately 38 seconds to send me an email so that when a phone call comes through, I am well informed. I'm sorry your entire life revolves around counting calories and exercising, but mine does not. Maybe if you ate a friggin Snickers, you wouldn't be such a raving bitch.

Number Three-don't gossip about my coworkers relationships with me. I don't care about their relationships because they are their business and as my boss, should not be telling me things about my colleague's boyfriend that I do not need to know. As a matter of fact, it makes me wonder if my boss gossips about me.

Number Four-I'm sick of hearing about your damn wedding already, so SHUT UP!

Number Five-don't forward me stuff that is YOUR responsibility. The word Publicist is not after my name on my business cards, therefore I should not be contacting authors about media events. Actually, I don't even have any business cards. So, do your damn job!

I guess if this is the first really bad week I have had at work since May, I'm not doing too bad. On the other hand, it is really making me take a long hard look at my coworkers. There are a lot of gossips, backstabbers and all around pessimists in the office. I'm pretty upbeat and it makes it really hard to keep a good attitude if I don't want to go fax something because I don't want to hear the office manager bitch about, well, everything. Maybe it's time to start looking for a new, better paying job. At least I have a job though, and don't have to be desperate for something. We'll see how I feel on Monday.
