Ah, the interoffice drama.

1. Coworker B had her yearly review from Coworker A(sshole) last night.

2. Coworker A was an ass to her for months on end. Still is.

3. Coworker B is fairly high-strung, had Coworker X (who is no longer with the company but was psychotic) riding her ass for no reason for several months, and had to deal with her alcoholic ex-husband who drunk himself to death this past year.

4. Coworker A actually made her sit in a conference room while he yelled at her one day.

5. Coworker B is 60 years old and knows she couldn't find another job in the industry based on her age if she left this job.

6. Coworker B, after the yelling incident (that I was witness to), reported it to one of the owners.

7. Coworker A got the owners to agree with him that Coworker B was being "disagreeable and moody" this year, and therefore didn't deserve a raise of any sort, because she should be punished.

8. Coworker B works longer hours than Coworker A or any of his prize minions and STILL is settling her ex-husband's estate.

9. Coworker A sits around talking about movies for an hour and then tells account execs he can't do work for them because "he's busy".

10. Coworker B has already run to the bathroom once this morning crying.

11. The owners pride themselves on running a "friendly and family-like" business. (Meaning, there is very little hierarchy and no recourse for dealing with unprofessional behavior, so calling one employee out on behavior deemed unprofessional when others do it constantly should be null and void.)

Can you tell how fun today is so far?

What sucks is, I get that raises should not be expected. In my mind, that's a reward for doing well in the past year. You have to *earn* a raise. Thing is, she works harder than the ones who get the raises, and she's treated like crap...and then they do the confused "but why would she be upset" routine.

This is why I'm supposed to be looking for a new job. I just keep forgetting.

Chasteberry is my friend.

Good drugs.

Or more precisely, good herbal remedy thing. Whatever it is, my mother read about it's wonderfulness with regards to PMS, and she bought me a bottle, and I took it the first month, and lo, there were no cramps or mood swings.

Sadly, I became sick a couple of weeks ago and didn't eat much for a few days, so I stopped taking the medication (why waste it, right?). Got out of the habit.

This month's PMS is doubly bad. Cramps for days. Mood swings of a sort. The tender boobs, though? Gah! It hurts to wear my bra. And it hurts to go without a bra. They HURT. Add in the joys of water retention and I'm a mess. And the constant bathroom breaks. Stupid water retention and bathroom breaks.

*tries not to cry*

"Erin" is a female name.

"Aaron" is a male name.

With gender politics, unusual naming and whatnot, it is reasonable that sometimes you get a gender different from the naming.

But err on the side of caution! "Erin" is NOT a man!

(And why the hell am I being asked for teh FedEx account number? I hate when employees give it out. They have to have a damn good reason to be shipping something to us on our dime.)

They have the cutest picture of Kasey on there with a stocking cap on and the caption of "Doesn't he make the cutest little bank robber?"

I was just thinking that I needed to go home early, because I was getting nauseous. Thanks to the joys of construction on the first floor and the generator sitting at the entrance to the stairwell (that comes up to near my desk), I am having fun with upset tummy and a sense of smell that isn't cooperating and a headache.

And I rode with my sister. *growl*

I swear, luckily tomorrow we're riding seperately, because I am *so* prepared to leave early if need be.
