I'm depressed.

[undeterred]

[crim son]

1. Why? n/t

[undeterred]

4. manager is out to get me

and theres nothing I can do except leave

[Sannum]

5. I know the feeling.

Asshole bosses suck:(

[crim son]

7. There is nothing worse.

I'm sorry. :hug:

[Deja Q]

9. I'm in a similar boat.

Except it's coworkers.

Brought in on a new product.

One that's proving to be less than effective but, you guessed it, the preceding product is being the one blamed.

Whatever. I will not let them win. They can huff and puff all they like; they will not win. I will not let the hiccups anger me. I will not let their known dislike of my dislike alter me. Management has maintained if people have a problem with each other they talk about it directly. Therefore anything I hear is not the truth because nobody has told me about it.

Meanwhile I'm being left out of things.

Just ride it along.

Knowing the types of 'deliverance', it is a prime example of... faith... that keeps me here. But I still have reasons to live. They do not revolve around work. And there is a chance I can find something better.

[Writer]

10. I hope you do find something better.

You've got mail, btw.

[Sannum]

2. .

:hug:

[Writer]

3. Me too.

Let's huddle together and maybe our collective seratonin levels will balance each another out.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[undeterred]

6. I need more seratonin

or something.

[Writer]

8. Yes, but I would guess that you also need a lot of support as you go through a difficult time.

Workplace difficulties can be especially difficult because we spend so much of our waking lives in the office.

12. *offers virtual dark chocolate*

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Jack_Dawson]

11. Vicodin helps

I know it's not PC to say so, but a Vike nearly always helps my mood.

[undeterred]

13. i got lotsa vicodin

and a migraine that wont quit... mostly a leftover from crying so much yesterday. I think I will take some. That will make me feel better.

And I hope the asshole gets run over by a bus, just like that guy did on LOST.

[SPKrazy]

36. There Ya Go!

positive imagery!

I'll visualize it with you

hit by a bus


:hug:

[Danger Mouse]

14. I'm deranged.

:(

[undeterred]

15. you have a terrible user name

[Danger Mouse]

17. Terrible? For what reason? Offensive? Or just stupid?

[undeterred]

18. oh not offensive or stupid

its just its the dianetics guy right?

[Danger Mouse]

19. L. Ron Hubbard is the dianetics guy.

Elrond is the Lord of the Rings guy. It's a stupid, dorky, pointless play on words, but I happen to like it.
Still wonder why it's terrible though :P

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

21. Hah

I get it. That's clever, actually.

[Danger Mouse]

22. I assure you it's the only clever thing I ever did in my life.

And you may find that sad.
Cause it really is.

[undeterred]

23. I never saw or read Lord of the Rings

but when I was in college some weird people tried to recruit me into scientology on the way home from class....

[Danger Mouse]

26. Ah, i see...you presumed the username was a proscientology thing?

[undeterred]

29. well no not too many DUers are proscientology

I thought maybe you were kidnapped, brainwashed, escaped, and deprogrammed or something before you came to DU...

[Danger Mouse]

32. No, but I spent quite a bit of time reading

www.xenu.org
and let's just say it gave me a not so rosy view of scientology.
:)
is my username still terrible?

[undeterred]

33. Nah.

Tonight I want to trade in "undeterred" for "miserable and depressed".

[Danger Mouse]

34. I know all about 'miserable and depressed'

:hug:
wanna talk?

[undeterred]

38. sometime thanks

:hug:

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

20. You're thinking of

L. Ron Hubbard. Which sounds similar to Elrond Hubbard. But it's not the same.

[undeterred]

24. its like obama and osama

similar yet different :shrug:

[wildhorses]

25. Your situation at work will change - just give it time

Ask yourself how your situation today is different from where it was six months ago. Then think about a year ago. Then a year and a half ago, etc. You will probably see that the dynamics of your work place change significantly approximately every six months. Things that bothered you a year ago probably may not cause you any concern today. It will be the same six months or a year in the future. The only constant at work is change.

Your current situation will pass. It may feel like a kidney stone today, but it will pass. And if you are convinced it will not change, then the ball is in your court.

Tomorrow will be a better a day. Good luck!

[undeterred]

27. thanks

i hope you are right

[Generic Brad]

30. A year and a half ago I felt just like you

I was openly being forced out of my job. Instead of giving in I actively sought out a transfer, landed a promotion in another area and have been happy ever since. It could happen for you too.

[SPKrazy]

28. Well, Sorry About That

but I am pretty sure that you are bright and skilled and will indeed land on your feet.

and on the other hand, the manager is new and mebbe they will fall flat on their face before anything else happens.

:hug:

[undeterred]

31. I did not peek at anything today.

Because I knew it would not make me feel better.

But I still feel shitty.

[SPKrazy]

35. I'm Sorry Undeterred

no judgment about peeking here :hi:

:hug:

shitty situation=shitty feeling

[undeterred]

39. no, i know

But its a bad habit and I already know too much. Its amazing to have this manager smile in my face at a morning meeting, knowing full well that he is sharpening the knife he's going to stick in my back. I couldn't do what he's doing- but he does it to people all the time- he's a real conniver.

And I figure if I'm leaving anyway, its time for me to make a play for Mr. Cookies.

[SPKrazy]

41. Hey Mr. Cookies...

whatcha doin?

;)

[u4ic]

45. I'm sorry, undeterred

:hug:


I hope that you can come to a decision soon regarding your situation. It is pure hell to be the bullseye for your boss (been there, done that).

Sending lots of good vibes to you :grouphug: ; I hope you feel better soon, because when you're 'on', your posts crack me up. :D
