Dear Diary Thursday....

Today was truly an "eye opener" for me. Call me naieve, call me stupid....I am okay with either. I am one of those individuals who it takes actually getting shit upon by somebody before I put a stop to it. Not before, not when I see which direction the relationship is going...I give them ample opportunity to either become a good person, or shit on me, and the shitting happened today. However, karma is my friend. Scenario......at work and a co-worker of mine, who has become a total bitch in the last 4-5 weeks, comes in. Everything is fine between us. Then another co-worker, who has the day off to go see the Lolapalooza concert, calls co-worker #1 to see if she will play hooky with her to go see the concert, since she has an extra ticket. Co-worker #1 gets off the phone and tells me the situation and starts whining that she can't leave. I immediatly jump to her defense with, "YES you can! Go and have a great time! The ticket is free, you have the time, I can hold down the fort, and you deserve it! GO!" She continues whining. Then my boss shows up, I explain the situation to her and ask if co-worker #1 can go....she of course says, "GO! Have a great time! Stick around long enough to do your presentation to the new clients and then go!" Well, co-worker #1 gets on the phone, calls co-worker #2 back and says....and I quote..."Well, it looks like I can go after all! Well, Lorene stuck her nose into it, and well, YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS!" Nice, eh? And then co-worker #2 drives up, comes in and get co-worker #1, they both leave without even bothering to say good bye to anyone and DO NOT STICK AROUND TO GIVE THE PRESENTATION TO THE NEW CLIENTS! Needless to say, this was probably the last straw for my boss. They both have been treating her like shit since she got back from maternity. And to finalize the story, I had not one, not two, but SEVERAL co-workers come up to me today and tell me how they can not ask, or even talk to, co-workers #1 and #2 because every time they do they are treated like dirt or like they are stupid! Last time I checked, we were a TEAM!!! But hey, what the hell do I know!
