jdmkleinok, veil, i need your help. It seems our work boats often travel in the same waters, so i'm wondering if you've ever had this problem. And, if you have, how did you manage it?
If you haven't, do you have any suggestions?
There is a woman in my unit who is sometimes quite rude. She angers easily and responds in a way she knows is bad. She gets over it almost as soon as she blows, but i've had it about up to here ^ with her antics. She never apologizes to anyone for her outburst, she just says, well you know how i am.
Today was a cool day for Kuwait. One of the teachers opened her office window. This woman came to her office in a huff and pulled the office door shut rather forcefully. While the teacher in her office was out for a minute or two, the time doesn't really matter, the unit's a/c came on. The rude woman believes if the a/c is on and a window is open, the heat/humidity/dirt/whatever is sucked in through the window and causes the rest of the unit to be uncomfortable. She has mentioned this several times. And everyone in the unit knows her views.
i need to tell her to quit acting like a spoiled brat who doesn't get her own way and stamps her feet and pouts if things don't go the way she wants. If she had gone to the teacher's office and asked if she was aware that the a/c had come on and would she mind either closing her window or her door, it would not have been a problem. But she didn't. She just yanked the office door shut and tromped off to her office in high dudgeon. This is just one example of her childish behaviour. i have had it up to....well you know, and i am not sure how to go about telling her to cut it out. i am still angry about what she did, but i didn't say anything at the time. i thought it prudent to keep my mouth shut so there wouldn't be a chance for her to try a shouting match with me. i will see her tomorrow, but i wonder if talking to her about this latest incident tomorrow isn't sort of like locking the barn door after the horse is stolen. On the other hand if i wait until it happens again, i run the risk of upsetting the whole unit and making her look the fool for her outburst. She is a good teacher and a hard worker, but has issues that make her constantly angry, i think. Of course i got my psychology degree out of a cracker jack box, so what do i know?
katie bobatie, have you ever had to deal with a situation like this? One low level professional to another, what to do, what to do.
Moving along to the next item on the agenda. We have to start looking for dog food again. It seems the dog food boat doesn't make regular stops in Kuwait. It's either feast or famine. Master bought the puppy some grown up food thinking that any animal that weighs over 55 pounds should be able to handle grown up dog food. Well. this puppy must want to stay a puppy as long as he can, cuz he was not going to eat that big dog stuff. Nope, nada, no way jose. Master went to the black market dog food supplier and found what He thought were the last three bags of puppy food in Kuwait. Today i opened the last bag. It's only a 2 kilo bag, and that should get us through until about Friday. i'm told a hungry dog will gnaw on people parts while they sleep. i don't want this dog hungry.
The good news is i get to ride to work tomorrow with Master. The bad news is that means His car isn't running yet, again.
My mother sent me a message tonight telling me my ex-step brother is in the hospital and quite ill. Like i am supposed to care about this. i think my response to her note upset her. But why am i supposed to be sorry that this son of a bitch is sick? He is a wicked, sick, evil, twisted man who put Mother through 18 years of one kind of hell while she remained living in another kind of hell. She is out of both. Why should she be at all concerned about him? He'd dance with evil pleasure on her sick bed if the situation were reversed. She wrote to tell me her ex- seemed pleased that she called. Like it matters what he thinks or feels. Sometimes i just don't understand my family members. And to top it all off, i think she got upset when i told her not to expect me to feel sorry for him. He's finally getting what he deserves. BAH!
