Reply #7: People are scum. [View All]

[Deja Q]

That's what I've learned. Half the people in my department are as cold as ice and have np qualms treating me as such. WTF did I do to them? Nothing. And it'd be silly to go whine to the boss that x and y have callous attitudes; that'd make ME look like the jerk, which is furthermost from the truth.

I'm also supposed to be taking it easy, and my first couple of weeks back have been far more stressful than anything I had prior to my surgery. Another co-worker got mad at me when I talked of the stress, saying he has carpal tunnel. Um. I never responded but, doi, I had something a little more invasive than carpal tunnel so what right does he have?

There's also the added stress of the world in general that EVERYONE is facing.

The point is: Many people are choosing to be depressed and trying to give their depression onto everybody else. We all have those moments. We either live with it, or "do as the Romans do" and be as cold in return; which doesn't do any good at all - though I no longer blame people for doing the same thing; I think America is about to end anyway. And many people must be thinking worse.

Fuck 'em all, they're not worth it. Do your 40 hours and not a second more. And if they start trying to mess with you, mess back. You don't deserve to leave. They do.
