Memmeeme Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I'm so SICK of being PUSHED AROUND!!!!! Ok, lets start with my boss. She will find a way to subtly control me. Like for instance, I mailed a check to someone, and it came back with the wrong address, because they'd moved, and we hadn't written them a check in over a year, so naturally, the address hadn't been changed in the system. She laid it on my desk with a note that read, "Let's put it on the system, OK.." umm..DUH!!! I've been working here 3 times as long as you!!! I KNOW to do that!!! Then there's my husband. He thinks he can say, "Come do the laundry" not ask, TELL me to do the laundry, yet if I say, "Take this glass downstairs when you go," he says, "You're not the boss of me." and ignores me. OR, if he tells me to do something, and I don't do it, or I back talk him when he says something rude to me, he'll fly off the handle, and break something...usually something of mine. So now, we come to a chat forum that I am a member of. I put a picture in the forum, and this moderater (not this site) posts on the board to someone who posted a link to a picture, "Thanks for posting a link, instead of huge pictures that slow down the board." Unfortuantely, right after she said that, I posted a picture of a baby flipping the bird (I thought it was cute) She sent me a nasty e-mail about it. I felt like telling her what I thought of her, but I know I can't because she'll have me banned from the site. So I have to put up with a B*tch at work, or I'll get fired, I have to put up with a Jerk at home, or my stuff will get broken, and I have to put up with B*tches on the internet, or I won't be allowed to talk to my friends!!!!! No wonder people fly off the handle, and shoot everyone they know
Naive Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Now didn't typing all that make you feel much better!
Moose Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Ok, lets start with my boss. She will find a way to subtly control me.

She laid it on my desk with a note that read, "Let's put it on the system, OK.." umm..DUH!!! I've been working here 3 times as long as you!!! I KNOW to do that!!! Sounds to me that she was just covering her butt. Look, I know what it's like....even now. My brother is the President of the company I work for.....and top it off with he's my, LITTLE brother....smart as a whip and has the memory of an elephant....he can tell you what happened 5 years ago last Teusday in detail! He draws 7 figures, and pays me 6. Sometimes he'll say little things that totally piss me off....like, "Can you handle that?", "Don't cover your handset and talk to someone else when you're on the phone with a client", that kind of stuff.....then he'll ask me about something that happened 9 months ago.....I can't remember what happened this morning let alone 9 months ago!!! I had to remember, he's the one that I used to beat up on every chance I got. I really shouldn't harbor this hatred against him. And maybe your boss had a rough time as a kid too. I don't know, I don't know if you know.....but one thing I do know, she's there because she worked her tail off to get there.....respect that and strive to be a cheerful employee, and some day....you'll reap your rewards.....that I can promise you. Then there's my husband. He thinks he can say, "Come do the laundry" not ask, TELL me to do the laundry, yet if I say, "Take this glass downstairs when you go," he says, "You're not the boss of me." and ignores me. OR, if he tells me to do something, and I don't do it, or I back talk him when he says something rude to me, he'll fly off the handle, and break something...usually something of mine. Sounds like a child to me......but seriously....he needs a good heart to heart about mutual respect. We're to be helpmates for one another....not commandos. I'm sure you know what he values more than anyone, so....next time he breaks something of yours, wait until he turns his back or isn't home, I'd take those valueables and make them disappear.....you don't know what happened to them either.....until he starts refrains from destroying your stuff....then give it back. So now, we come to a chat forum that I am a member of.

Some mods are power hungry....computer nazis if you will....I think you'll find our Mods somewhat laxed...but fair. They've been pretty cool!!! And I'm not trying to kiss up either.....really Paul, I'm not!!!! I'm sure, like niave said, that since you wrote this out....you do feel better.....right??? Hang in there...when you get to the end of that rope, tie a knot and hang on!
