And that day it just boiled over and came out of her mouth. Hehehehe. It's kind of funny to know she must argue with you inwardly. :)<br /><br />I hope things are better soon...for HER sake (peace of mind and all.) :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-77893346989283157302010-08-12T09:20:04.886-04:002010-08-12T09:20:04.886-04:00Susanne,

It certainly didn't anger or upset me, which is part of what makes it so weird. I don't have any emotional involvement in the 'fight' that we've apparently had! I'm not even sure I was there for the 'fight'!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-35771756781312602242010-08-12T09:18:09.813-04:002010-08-12T09:18:09.813-04:00caraboska,

I don't agree with you on many things, but I'd much rather talk to someone who just says what they think. That way, everyone knows where they stand and dialogue can move from there. *shrug*<br /><br />'This is not an apology.'<br /><br />Speaking only for myself, since I don't know who the other person you refer to is, or what you think you've done that might have offended them, I don't know of anything that's been said between the two of us that would call for an apology anyway. We disagree. Is it a fundamental disagreement? Yes. But neither of us has resorted to nastiness or name-calling, or anything that would call for having to make amends for bad behavior.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-4354840168479745592010-08-12T09:11:43.842-04:002010-08-12T09:11:43.842-04:00slice,

You'll still have conflicts, but women turn vicious! <br /><br />I've tried the mp3 thing, but I tend to zone on the music/talk and then I miss hearing my phone ring! Which, okay, I have voice mail, but then I have to play phone tag so much. So mostly I figure I'll just have to ignore.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-2918469867593620752010-08-11T21:00:47.024-04:002010-08-11T21:00:47.024-04:00This post made me chuckle...sorry.

I don't 'get stuff' either. And I speak so bluntly that I bet I have managed to offend even someone like Amber. She's not alone - there's someone else in particular who is probably offended right around now.<br /><br />This is not an apology. There are things that there is no point in sweeping under the carpet. But that doesn't mean that I can't wish I could just make them go away... But I am not God. That's the long and short of it, I reckon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-5982781550051756982010-08-11T17:22:08.883-04:002010-08-11T17:22:08.883-04:00this happens all the time at my work. I have give...this happens all the time at my work. I have given up now and I just listen to my MP3 player. if you dont facebook, tweet, then you are nobody to the chav's I work with. they are so uncooth I cant be bothered to explain things to them as they talk about me behind my back.<br /><br />for instance. a VERY heavily pregnant co worker moaned that her husband had said, "I dont know what all you women moan about being pregnant..." So I said to her "I bet you wish you were both seahorses right now!". she laughed and said "yeah I am gonna tell him that the next time he has to help me up off the sofa..."<br /><br />to which someone who was just listening in said "My God you are so random you dont half talk c£&p."<br /><br />to which I had to walk away from as I was laughing in my head, but really, seriously, why do I have to work with morons? I didnt know if she was being silly, or the statement was real and she really didnt get what I was saying...<br /><br />Blunt is best Amber. Being upfront means people know where they are with you. instead of the nest of vipers I work with. Say one thing and then talk about you behind your back. snitch on you. Yep, I would rather work with a room full of men, than loads of women. mean as snakes. mean as snakes...<br /><br />ignore and pretend it didnt happen. then if she does it again. Say, can you just check that again as I am going to find one of the people who signed for that as we will have to send it back...Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809314184012834659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-81419530421839832532010-08-11T16:56:02.223-04:002010-08-11T16:56:02.223-04:00I don't even know!

I didn't even tell anyone else that she'd missed the paper. It was just her and me! There was no one to look bad in front of! No one else knows about any of it. And I didn't say it like, 'you moron, you didn't see that?!?' it was just, 'hey, I found the paper'<br /><br />The worst part is, I heard her when she was looking, and I heard her moving the boxes, so I suspect that *she's* the one who put the 11x17 on top of the box she was looking for...Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-29694575170777083772010-08-11T16:43:47.935-04:002010-08-11T16:43:47.935-04:00Um, I'm lost.

Why is she even mad at you to begin with??<br /><br />It must be some kind of "moment" in her own head because what you said wouldn't even phase most people. And maybe if she bothered to move the carton aside she would have seen that there was still some paper?<br /><br />Ooooh maybe that's why she was being so touchy: you made her look bad. But hey that's what she gets for not bothering to move things around. I hate it when people are like, "I can't fiiiind (fill in the blank)!" and yet they're just standing and staring at stuff. Not bothering to sort through it. Arrrrg!Michelle Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185810008704682978noreply@blogger.com
