job vent:
so, i got a jab at work for being the quiet one. at work today a coworker from a remote building (one in which requires a car to get to) came into our office. after she left i said out loud, "wow, she doesn't look like what i expected her to look like!" i didn't mean it in a derogatory way at all, it's just sometimes when you are on the phone you visualize how someone might look... my coworker said in this mean, condescending voice, "yeah, isn't that SAAAAAD we don't even know what they look like. isn't it SAAAAAD no one takes the time to stay and be introduced." my other coworkers laughed at her. i believe she was taking a jab at me because i am quiet and after work i leave when my shift is over. apparently this is a problem to her.
first of all, we never see those coworkers because they are in remote buildings you have to drive to. very rarely is there face to face interaction. secondly, i'm sorry but after being trapped in a room for 8 hours full of passive-aggressive hens who complain nonstop, who say mean things about each other behind each others' backs and then play nice to their face... i really do not wish to chat it up with them when i am off the clock. hell, i do not wish to chat it up with them when i am on the clock. and if the only bad thing she can come up with about me is that i am quiet or i immediately leave after i am off the clock... well, she must be looking for something! why am i going to sit around chatting it up with people who will turn around and gossip about me?
people exhaust me. seriously. i do not mind the work itself. it is the obnoxious coworkers and their petty BS that is absolutely draining.
