Drama, Drama, Drama

Some days, I wonder why I bother coming to work. I simply fail to understand why people are such...well, people. People are so STUPID and petty, it's ridiculous.

Honestly, how difficult is it to just check your name off and pass the damn routing sheet around to others? What is it about people who see you lay it on their desk and then loudly gripe, "Oh, NOW what?" Like I'm the bane of their existence for putting it there when I'm only doing what you're supposed to do in the first place. *rolls eyes*

And the things these people say about each other!

I'm the office confidant. I know everything about everyone, because everyone trusts me and likes me and tells me stuff. I recognize that it's good to vent, especially at someone who's not going to judge you for how you feel or go blabbing it around the office.

But really, is it necessary to slam everyone in the office who even remotely pisses you off? Every little thing, I swear...it's unbelievable. I like each of these people as individuals, but as coworkers? Christ in a sidecar, they're all gonna be suffering from ulcers within six months, I guarantee it. *rolls eyes again*

I don't know how anyone can be so unhappy all the time. I haven't got the energy for it, where is everyone else drawing it from? Because seriously, it takes a lot of energy to be this angry all the time.

Meh sorry about the drama going on at work. People can be so cruel sometimes. Is it your job to listen to them vent or do they just come and blabbing when they like?

Anyways, I hope things get better. :)

No, letting them vent isn't my job. But I let them do it because I know it's better for them to get it off their chests, and it doesn't hurt me any to listen to it. For real - what's the point of wandering around all day, bottling everything up? If venting at me helps them to deal, then all the better for everyone.

It's extremely amusing for me sometimes, because people who hate each other are completely civil and almost nice to each other when both talking to me. *rolls eyes and snickers*

For one person, I'm the only thing keeping him tethered. He'd have been SO gone a long time ago if there wasn't someone sane for him to confide in, someone who understands exactly what's got him pissed. If venting to me helps him come back down, then I'm thrilled because I need him, too - he's the only one who really understands MY work frustrations.

And thanks for the support - things will be fine, it's just that some days are all rage and no pockets of calm. ;)

That's true. And nice of you too. :)

Yeah, it works out better when everyone can kind of depend on each other. Rather than everyone dumping it all on one person.

When things get stressful, feel free to vent it all out here or in a PM. I'll always listen. :D

And you know, it's not even the job itself that's stressful. It's the people. *rolls eyes*

Thanks! *hugs back*
