It just irritates me when people make fun of me both to my face and behind my back because of my cats - exaggerating and spreading rumors like, "Turin has 10 cats" or in the case of this one old fool I work with, literally laughing in my face every time anything cat related comes up. I'm just sick of it. I don't even get into my book collection with any of them beyond saying I collect a book series in foreign languages - why fuel their fire? I don't mind being the weird one or anything like that, don't really care what they think of my marriage and how it's not "normal", but when they make fun of my cats, it triggers anger in me.

You have 4 cats atm?
I don’t see why it should even mater to anyone else :/ or why that should be a cause of making fun of you :/ that’s really just so messed up. So what you love cats? Cats are great and adorable and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! It’s pretty low that someone, people rather I guess, would pick fun of you just because of that :/
I mean, idk, people at work make fun of the fact that I like to read and run and say that I have no life and they don’t get that I enjoy reading or running and poke fun at that but idk I just brush it off even though it’s annoying
They don’t know I have so many pets which really isn’t “that” many

I do have 4 cats now, but on this day 1 year ago, I had 6, and that's all that people remember about me. I remember we had this work meeting right after the new owner took over where we were supposed to go around the room and tell something about ourselves, and when it came to me, before I could even answer, my general manager proclaims loudly, "Turin has 6 cats", like that's all that I am is the owner of cats. I'm the crazy cat lady to them, and honestly, it's attitudes like that that are the reason I like my cats better than all most people.
I don't see how anyone could look down on someone for running. I mean you are being active and healthy, how can anyone begrudge that? As for reading, I also don't think that's something to make fun of, because lots of people read. Some read books, some newspapers, some articles on their phones, but I think it's a great hobby to have. I know you like David Baldacci, but have you ever read anything by Harlan Coben? I just finished his book called "Home", and while yes, it's part of a series, I hadn't read the whole series, and it has been years since I read any of them, but that book was really good, grabbed my attention since pretty much page 1.
I think most people I work with just like to complain mostly - that and spread gossip about people. I don't mind hearing it, but I don't like spreading it, and that gets on some of them's nerves that they know I know stuff, but I won't tell them.

Are you sick because of your new environment, or just sick with a normal cold or something?

Post by The Noble Dragon on Oct 8, 2019 13:36:01 GMT -5
excellent question. I think it's a cold. Everyone in the house is also sick and a bunch of my coworkers have been getting sick. I'm honestly surprised i didn't get sick sooner bc of moving and all that
but this cough is super rough

If you ever feel a cold coming on, I recommend these lozenges called Cold Eeze. They taste terrible (well, the honey lemon ones aren't TOO bad, though they still make your food taste funny afterwards) but they really do shorten the time and strength of the cold. Pretty sure I've said that on here before, but they're the only thing I've actually found that works.

I would LOVE to do that, but I have the type of job that I am not allowed to call in ever, which means working sick all the time. That's why one of the first things I do when I go in is wipe down everything I would possibly touch that night with clorox wipes, but it doesn't always work.

I got 3 cats and 2 dogs atm.
They make fun of running bc they are like why would anyone do that for fun and reading is the same way. Says it’s a waste of time
I haven’t read those books before!
Oh gossip is huge at my store. I hate talking to people about anything bc it goes around and get twisted. Everyone always shares everything with me though bc they get the vibe that I’m the person you can rant all your life problems to or about anyone else in the store and I’m that neutral party, which really I don’t mind but it’s funny when someone comes to me and complains about a person and then another person complains about that person that just complained like I don’t take sides here lol I mean atm, apparently I’m dating the assistant store manager so there’s that

Oh jeez that sucks! They should let you wear jackets or a long sleeve shirt underneath or something!
I'm doing good! had to call out of work today bc i'm sick and can in no way last a whole 8 hour shift without dying. The 4 hour shift I did last night was super rough as it is.

pumpkin pie I mentioned that people were making fun of you for running to my husband and even he was like, "wth, that's such a positive hobby to have" Fortunately because I work essentially alone all night I don't interact with too many people, so I would never get accused of dating anyone at this job. Have been at other jobs in the past though. At my job it always seems like some feud or another is always going on, so it's all about whose side you're on, but I'm not going to form an opinion on anyone based on what others say, so while I do listen, I don't repeat (unless I've heard it from at least 2 separate sources, then I consider it common knowledge and will repeat facts, not opinions). The Noble Dragon If I truly have to call in, as in an emergency, I can, and I do when it involves the hospital. I work alone, and if I call in, it directly affects someone else because someone has to stay up all night and cover my shift, which nobody wants to do, especially if they already worked 1st of 2nd shift. Bottom line is the management at my work doesn't care how you feel or if you get others sick, as long as you are a warm body covering the shift.

I’ve been sick since last Saturday lol but I’m on the end of it now so it’s an annoying cough and snuggly nose but in the beginning.. I understand the thing about layers. I honestly prefer to just wear a large baggy sweatshirt bc otherwise everything feels like its just pulling in weird places and riding up and stuff Yeah i've been sick since last week lol and I think it's getting better. I just have a really nasty cough and stuffy nose lol
