kind of OT but i just need to vent this into the universe.

ever since i've started my job, my coworker has talked so much crap about this machine repair guy. once in awhile the machine repair man has to come in and tweak/fix our machine. well, she always says what a rude, dim-whitted a-hole he is. every time he comes in to fix the machine she makes the nastiest remarks about him like he is the biggest pr*ck of the world. he came in on friday and she emailed everyone in the room some sarcastic remarks about him as he was working on our machine. uncalled for, in my opinion, and i felt bad for him. so i got up and started talking to him. he seemed very friendly and sweet! he probably doesn't speak because it is awkward walking into a room full of women! after he left my coworker kind of mocked me for going over there to talk to him. i told her i disagreed with her, felt sorry for him because of her email, and thought he was quite sweet. she insisted that he is rude with poor customer service skills. ok, lady- whatever. so she hates him and thinks he's a horrible person because he is quiet.

these preconceived assumptions that quiet people are rude really upset me. quiet is not a crime. quiet is not rude. these horrible, nasty things she is reading into this guy really says a lot about who she is and it is ugly. i feel disheartened (slightly- it's not like i have high expectations of people) that my coworkers are so unsympathetic.

and i'm locked in this room for 40 hours a week with this crap. selling my soul.

anyway, i just wanted to get that out.

That was unprofessional and very immature of her to send an email out to her coworkers like that. Seems like something people in high school would do, just saying. I'm glad that you opened up to the guy Dottie. Why would she mock you? It seems like she has some growing up to do on her half.

People are prejudiced against quiet people. Have you ever made small talk with somebody one day, only to have them act totally cold to you and like they don't know you thereafter? I'm almost positive it's because they think you're a quiet loser or something. It sucks.

Haters gonna hate :D
Anyways, if someone prefers to be quiet, he should not be someone that he is not because of other people's attitue

Yeah, it's hard though counting that so many people seem to have serious issues with someone who's quiet. People have actually said mean things to me or behind my back b/c i'm quiet

Content, because the weekend was nice, and because the stress level at work is ok right now. Nervous, since there'll be a small birthday event in about three weeks. Happy, because in two weeks, I'll have a two week vacation. Lonely too.

Nervous.

Looks like I'm going to be up all night. My stepdad is visiting and he and my mom are arguing. It always makes me anxious because of past experiences, and I just hate loud arguing in general. Makes my nerves go crazy.

I wish someone was here with me right now, I feel pretty alone... My sister is in the room but she's sleeping.

Gosh, that movie really sucked. The ending ruined the entire movie for me.

This brings back awful memories of my mum and dad fighting and arguing as I was growing up. I understand the nerves because I would be scared to talk to either of them. I guess you are the same. Hang in there, Beat. *hugs*

Thanks, I appreciate it.

All couples fight, of course, but when it's constant and very ugly it's just agonizing to listen to.
