Some long pent up work frustrations. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

when i want your "expert" analysis,
i will ask you for it.
don't tell me how to do my job; i have
been here for eight years.  and
how many months have you been working here?

when i want to hear all the latest news,
i'll read the paper, thanks.
i do not need to know who-did-what or
didya-hear-what-i-heard?
for some reason, i don't trust your headlines.

you are older than me; i respect that.
but that doesn't mean you
can walk all ovah and take advantage
of my so-called "youth."  i've
been 'round the block a time or two myself.

lemme tell you, some of them blocks were rough.
i tell you, i'm feeling
mighty old...but i do the job i've been
given with no whining
'cause i'm being paid to work, not to whine.

why ain't i said something long before now?
you wouldn't let me get
a word in edgewise, so i shut my mouth
and let all this build up...
afraid i've reach'd the point of no return.

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

(((Karla)))

You need to tell the boss what is going on and KEEP ON telling her. Eventually she will see that there is a problem, and hopefully she will try to rectify the situation. Sad when people take advantage of you, but you are better than that...don't let them do that to you! Stand up for yourself, and if she doesn't back off or down, tell the boss what is going on. Your job is too precious to have to put up with the stress levels that you do!! Great rant; I hear you! (But I wouldn't be so nice; I'd tell the old bat to back off or I will tell the boss myself. Of course, I may get fired, but oh, well...I don't like rude people, and I will NOT tolerate it; I WILL them off if I need to!!)

(((HUGS))) and much love (and prayers), your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

Lady K,

Don't take that talk from noone. You have amazing wit, let slip those dogs of war (Shakespeare - sorry - I couldn't resist) and give 'em what for. Rant on!

Peace and (((Hugs)))

I loved saying that to so called 'experts' at work. Rant On, Karla!

Oh I know this feeling so well.

Some people think so much of themselves that they often put people down. When you tried to speak, they would talk over your voice. I know this kind of people too well already.

Too sad you have to deal with one like this.
