Rant

Everyone I know has heard me rant about this subject, but it's really bothering me, so here I go again.

This man I work with, let's call him "Dick", is driving me INSANE. He's loud mouthed and obnoxious, and it seems like every time I have a little success he makes some sort of snide comment to make it feel....less. It's really bothering me. It's not just me, he's kind of an ass to everyone. But it seems like there comes a time when you have to learn to control your mouth and act professional. I've asked my boss twice to talk to him, because I don't think I have to tolerate such douchebaggery-and he has, then Dick will be nice for a while, then something will happen (at home?) to make him be an ass again.

I have a million theories as to why he acts this way, one of them being that he can't stand to see me (a WOMAN? Doing a GOOD JOB? Oh, HELL NO)do well. And I'm as hot tempered and loud mouthed as the next nutjob, so I have to catch myself time and time again from saying horrible personal things just to strike back at him. It's kind of ridiculous.

I like my job, and I like (most) of the people I work with. But somethings got to give before I call out the big guns. And by the big guns, I mean my husband going down there and KICKING HIS ASS.

Disclaimer-I would never ask my husband to beat the ass of someone who obviously has so many personal problems he can't even function like an adult at work. But it's nice to dream......

He's probably not competent enough to stand out in your office, so the only thing he can do is to be jealous of those who are successful. Don't let his misery affect your mood. Ignore what he says or just feel sorry for him because he is the miserable one. Your success will be recognized by other sane people and won't be buried by what his obnoxious comments.

And thanks for offering to correct my English! You can email me at catherinwithluck at yahoo.com or post it as a comment to my post, either way convenient for you is fine by me. Whenever you have the time and feel like doing it...

Enjoy your weekend!

Okay, your best revenge towards "Dick" (I wonder how you picked that name?) is to outshine his ass at the job, know that you're doing it and let him know that you know you're doing it. Then smile real pretty at him....
