I just need to ask for some support if possible. I finally got another job in a new department, same company. I have worked here in this one for 2 years. We order for over 100 clinics and the entire hospital.the ladies are so self centered and being only 4 of us, we have 2 that take off repeatedly, are rude, etc. So today all my work is caught up. No worries for them and wouldn't you know that an employee in a dept by us brought breakfast for all of the floor as a going away treat. I lied and said (to be kind), that I enjoyed working with them. No one responded except my friend who brought the food. How are people hard wired like this? They all just ate and enjoyed the meal. Kinda hurt even though I didn't expect anything. Thank you for listening.
HI Trish It is good that you have secured a new position and are leaving your current one on good terms(work caught up ) I would be grateful for the friend who purchased the breakfast celebration and let go of thinking about the others who simply consumed the meal. You knew who these people were and how they acted all year. I suggest that you not let this behavior ruin the generous gesture of your friend. Congrats on your new job .
(((Trisha))) - huge hugs of support and congratulations on your new position! I have worked with unpleasant people, and like you - just wondered how they could be hard-wired for perpetual negativity and selfishness. I will never know the answer, but now a days, I can find gratitude that I am not that way and says prayers they find their own peace. It takes a special hurting person to be like that always....so I believe!
Kudos to you for taking action to make a change for you! Lovely self-care and I am excited for your new gig! May it be great and those who work around you be more peaceful people!
Make it a great day!

Mahalo Trisha G for the reminder that program works beyond the alcoholic and just everywhere if I remember to work it. Prayer and meditation are key for me and the faith in all of the ways it can and will work.
And of course Hotrod!! Mahalo to you also for the sponsorish feedback. Sponsorish is a word? It can work!!! (((MIP)))
