Unpopular At Work Okay, I'm not terribly unpopular at work. The people that know me the least seem to like me the most, which is usually the case. My bosses think I do good work, and most of the people above me who aren't directly my boss seem to get along with me. Of course, most of our interactions center around business stuff so there's little we dicuss beyond small talk. That's fine though, the company is very open and really cool to work for. My two closest coworkers though don't seem to like me. Don't get me wrong, they're nice girls, but they get along better with each other than with me. Part of that is on my side as they're both conservatives, but another part of it rests with them or my attitude or whatever reason. Honestly, I don't know. I do know that I like one better than the other though. The bigger girl, Kristy, is very nice and outgoing and we generally get along. I don't gossip, but we have enough to talk about in small talk that we can survive, and have, while Bridget has been gone. Bridget though boggles me. Now, I'm trying to love and see everyone as worth of happiness and respect just because they're human, but I have such a hard time with her. Everyone else LOVES her like she's an angel dropped to earth, so I feel bad that I don't. She's a really sweet girl, patient as hell, and generally very likable. I don't hate her or anything like that, but there's just parts of her I can't understand. I'm probably limited on that end, but everyone has some walls they can't overcome. Let me explain. Besides my jealousy of her figure, which if I had I'd use to make some serious cash, I see her package as a waste and I can't understand why God or chance could be so unfair. She's super cute and very friendly, but she's a Jehovah's Witness! Yeah, a Witness. It's almost as bad as the roommate hell I went through when I lived with Theresa. Luckily, I just have a cube next to her. I could stand the coservativism, really I could, but she makes such silly blanket statements that I just want to smack some knowledge into her some days. My two current best examples are: "I won't sit on a public toilet seat! You could get herpes or clamydia or crabs." and "Well that drug stuff can mess you up. Its all the same, weed, crack, herion. It'll all kill you." Yeaaah. I did some re-education but probably came off as a know-it-all cunt. Some days I just can't believe the things she says though. She's probably in same boat on my end though as we've had some interesting debates about open relationships. Of course, she probably still doesn't understand why people would get married if they're going to be swingers, but as long as she can live without controlling other people's decisions politcally, that's fine by me. Hell, that's all I ask from conservatives. You can believe whatever you want, just allow me to argue my side too and don't interfere with my life. Very simple. Anyway, back to work. They keep chit chatting and I lose my train of thought. I know, this isn't about my updating the blog, but I'd certainly perfer some silence to the BS I hear around here some days. Daphne |
