The verbal tirade upset you at the time; however, you quickly regained your center. You gave yourself some reasonable self care - a small cone and a good night's sleep.<br /><br />In a bad situation that was riddled with someone else's dysfunction, you made healthy choices for yourself. Good job in a tough situation.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610735103026059266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-74285326405623540222010-02-06T20:52:32.506-08:002010-02-06T20:52:32.506-08:00Man, that really sucks that your work is going cra...Man, that really sucks that your work is going crappy right now, and that you're getting the brunt of it. It's not right. I agree that you should look for another job (while keeping this one) so that you can leave if the abuse continues. No one should have to hate the work they go to every day just so they can live.screwdestinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777895976599010393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-71236392612941453972010-02-06T20:14:44.035-08:002010-02-06T20:14:44.035-08:00I found your blog by way of TJ's Test Kitchen....I found your blog by way of TJ's Test Kitchen. So I'm just going to jump in. I can relate to your job woes. A few people from my previous employer tried to take advantage of my kindness one time to many. I don't know what got into me, but one day I grew a pair of balls and decided to man up and I told off my supervisor and a few of her counterparts. They were taken aback by my behavior. After a few more run ins I pretty much earned a reputation as a belligerent bad ass...not really a good thing. <br /><br />Anyway my back up plan was teaching and that's what I am doing now. You should get a back up plan because stress of that magnitude can take a toll on your mental health and affect the process you've made so far. Good luck at work on Monday.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654799247385343040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-73498034320865588102010-02-06T18:37:48.144-08:002010-02-06T18:37:48.144-08:00Goodness gracious!

How can anyone treat others like that???? I understand the fear of losing your job, but when things have calmed down, you MUST let your employers know that it is unacceptable to treat you like that. No job is worth that. Especially if you have self-esteem issues anyway! <br /><br />Hang in there, Dana, we are here for you.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595663688605330722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-41305473593849792622010-02-06T08:39:08.942-08:002010-02-06T08:39:08.942-08:00I'm sorry you had such a terrible day - it rea...I'm sorry you had such a terrible day - it really sucks when your workplace has issues. Glad you are going to hold your head up high and return to work on Monday morning - like you said, THEY are the ones with the problems.<br /><br />Since you do elder care, have you looked into Home Instead or Comfort Keepers? Those are a couple places in my area that offer that service - I wonder if you might be able to find a good-paying job with them? <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend - the hike sounds like it will be a perfect way to get centered again. Hang in there, Dana - you deserve the best!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-50086077139831589402010-02-06T08:27:05.645-08:002010-02-06T08:27:05.645-08:00I'm so terribly sorry you had to go through th...I'm so terribly sorry you had to go through this Dana. It's sad when people attack the wrong people. I am like you though and tend not to stick up for myself but it sounds like with the situation you really couldn't and you did the best you could. Way to go on not eating over it and going for that hike today. I think it will do wonders for you mentally. I know for me getting outside always makes me feel better. Glad you have your family and friends to get you through this. I do hope you can find another job though because it just doesn't sound good and from experience it seems once abuse starts it usually doesn't stop. As for whining this was in no way that. This is your outlet and we all need that.bbubblybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423578980112090148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-11603151617617531132010-02-06T08:05:02.111-08:002010-02-06T08:05:02.111-08:00oh my sweet sweet babes. so crappy to hear of your...oh my sweet sweet babes. so crappy to hear of your troubles at work. maybe the hike will de-stress you and clear your mind. i think you are a super strong lady stick with it. <3<br /><br />i love that last paragraph. hell yeah.<br />*big puffy heart hugs*wildfluffysheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455412514350334005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-74599899032915252092010-02-06T08:00:44.775-08:002010-02-06T08:00:44.775-08:00How awful, no ones should be treated like that, it...How awful, no ones should be treated like that, it's bullying at it's worst. Isn't there someone at work you can go to about this?<br /><br />Thank God for family and friends. You and i are very alike, I can't defend myself in that sort of situation either, I just turn to jelly. ~So I know exactly how you must have felt.

Having been through some crap in my life as well, I know how easy it is to be (literally) crippled by flashbacks. Well done for not allowing this situation to scupper your hard work.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237128259799260713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-82009663469641115622010-02-06T06:59:06.709-08:002010-02-06T06:59:06.709-08:00I am so sorry you had to go through this!!

No one should have to put up with that.<br />Is there any way to look for another job while still working so that when you find one you could just leave?? Believe you me i know about living on a low income. My hubs is on disability and things can definitely get tight.<br />You've come so far i hate to see that you have to go through this as well.<br />Look after yourself and i hope you find a way to get out of that situation.WWSuzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200582568720343436noreply@blogger.com
