I want to fucking scream

[warrior1]

Ok I need to vent.

A while back one of my co-workers (same rank) told me to stop making them look bad. She said this because I was working really hard and they were just standing around and talking. Well she's on her way out to another job (thank god to be rid of her) at the beginning of June. I just found out that our manager approved a trip for her and another co-worker to Virgina for a conference. Get this the trip $2800. for both. Why is my manager wasting at trip on someone who is leaving our unit? And this is after I have been asking for a new printer, because I'm wearing out the one I've been using for the last three years. This asses also stand around talk all day, take long lunch and of course are the bosses pet. She ask me today what was wrong. I wanted to tell her to shove it but I just said nothing and walked away. My head is going to explode.

1. Was the trip approved

before the manager knew she was leaving?

3. speaking as someone who has DEFINITELY been there...

...work is not life, my friend. Leave it behind. It's not worth the stress.

4. I've got

A little more than five years to go. I'm so tired. I know this shit happens in most office's, I'm just so sick of it being in mine and having to try and ignore the bullshit.

5. I know what you mean....

Actually, I meant leave it behind in a proximal sense, not (necessarily) an ultimate sense. Don't take it home with you. Find a way for it to not be important. Water off a ducks back, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

6. Venting here helps

and yes leaving it at work and not taking it home is a good idea. Just times it just builds up and I want to scream.
