Not a good day. Actually it was great until I had to face an extremely rude co-worker (aka spoiled brat). Although it has been a rainy day, it was a pleasant afternoon with my mom and her friend. They were meeting for lunch, and asked if I wanted to join them. Sure! FOOD. We had great conversations, and her friend said that I should meet her older daughter. Awesome--more new people to meet! Well, the party was over until I had to deal with the coworker from hell. Since I've joined this new workplace, I've noticed that cattiness is a side effect at most jobs. Everyone bitches about one thing or the other, and also talk about everyone else behind their backs. Nothing new right? Tell me! I'm just trying to be open-minded. Well, I have this chick who loves to throw her weight around me. I give my 100% to this job. It's rewarding because I know that I'm helping others who can't otherwise help themselves. Everyday someone tells me how much they appreciate the help, and how hard I work. Thanks. That's all I need. Well, this particular bitch from hell treats me like a slave. Either she doesn't like me, or is jealous....of what? That I don't talk on the cell phone while I'm working. Or lay on the couch like it's a resort. And treat people like second class citizens. She thinks these elder residents are dumb. HA! Anyhoot, she bossed me around quite a bit and gave me orders to take care of someone who wasn't on my list for the day. I was in for a 5-9shift and explained that I had enough to do. Then she yelled that I had to, and that it's my responsibility and HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME THAT I DON'T DO MY JOB. WTF????!!!! She called off last week ten minutes before her shift--I took it since there wasn't anything to do that day. Also she "forgot" to take care of a resident before leaving her shift once (twice, thrice, who knows??!). I was boiling mad because I took this comment personally. I called the boss at home and explained the constant harrassment. She was furious, and said that she'd have a meeting with the bitch from hell. No need for anyone to treat me like a SLAVE. I will not tolerate this behavior...especially when she doesn't treat the other (ahem...white) coworkers this way. I hate to point out the color factor, but I'm beyond explanations with the second class treatment. Two more months until I join the master's program. Any idea as to how to stick it to her?? I hate to use revenge as a last resort, but hell even I have limits........
P.S. I changed the title of this post to a favorite line from "Police Academy 2" Just watch the movie and you'll understand my mood:-) Bobcat kicks ass! The original title of my post revealed the name of bitch from hell. Hell I had second thoughts...tame the tiger!
P.S.S. Actually I do have beer. My roomie instructed me to open the fridge as soon as she saw my state of mind. I love her!

I'm sorry you had such a bad day. People who are trying to exert power like that are so sad...and must be so miserable! Hope you're able to unwind with your beer:) Sounds like a good roomie.
Okay, so lets get to the real meat-n-taters of this conversation. Exactly which beer do you turn to when you've had a hard day? :D
ooo what a bitch!! I hate people who are slackers, call in all the time, somehow you end up doing their work b/c you're the reliable one. There is this one coworker of mine and I would always get stuck doing her work and I finally told my boss "no" b/c she shouldn't be behind and I have my own work. So she finally stopped asking me. I hate working with women and i hate having women bosses....we're so catty!!! LOL
Ally--I have to show her that I'm not a powerless little twirp. Roomie is awesome.
Aaron--I think the favorite here is Lionshead and Yuengling. Lionshead is brewed in Wilkes Barre,PA. It's affordable:)
Nutz--My bosses are women, and they're pretty nice. When I had it rough a couple of months ago, they literally saved my life. However, I'm with you on women coworkers...all those hormones raging together..not a pleasant mix! Petty gossip and insecurity trips! With the exception of a few women pals, I've always clicked with the males. No stupid drama to deal with!
