Before After

Day Three: Crazy co-workers....where's the straight-jacket?

i just had a conversation (LOUD) with a crazy co-worker (HEIFA!!) that felt she needed to "confront" me about not attending all the christmas parties, therefore not bringing gifts. well excuse the heck out of me! because my dept is broken down into departments, divisions, bureaus, units, and programs, we have TWELVE parties scheduled! each party wants you to bring a food/drink item and a $5 gift. HELLO? i'm no mathematician, but i do believe that's $60 worth of gifts plus $$ for the food items plus time to prepare/pickup the food items!! does she not see the problem with it being December 16th and we've already had 9 of the 12 christmas parties? really, does she not see that?? and then they have the audacity to have an after hours one on friday at applebees??!! what the hell??!!!

as a single parent of the Big One and the Little One, i refuse to add extra stress to myself and my budget. i have to take into consideration church christmas functions and the functions at the Big One's school and her girl scout troop. Those are the important and necessary functions for me NOT drinking apple cider with crazy heifas like her!!

 

WOOOOO-SAAAAA *finding my happy place*

 

p.s. in crazy co-workers defense, i knew she was crazy so i don't even know why i entertained the conversation with her...guess she's pulled me over to the crazy side.

Comments to this post:

if crazy

co-worker isn't your boss, i think i would have looked at her like she had three heads, and walked away.  good job for at least trying!  :)

i think i would have skipped 11 out of 12 parties.  so, you're WAY better then me. 

.

You.are.a.riot!
 
I'm sorry:  I side with you and the family/budget being more important than the MANY parties at work!
 
P.s. go see Kate Who Ate's page for a picture of a vending machine!  I could not stop laughing about it!

Yep....the world is full of em...

Crazy People...! LOL....You prolly have more patience than i do...lol...i'd have likely just shaken my head ..roll my eyes and walk away
You're of course thinking of what your priorities are...(im a single mom too)...and too bad if crazy person # 4, 345, 567 doesnt agree! lol

I agree...

I agree with you totally!  Sometimes you have to do what's best for you and your kiddies.  Unless she was paying, tell her to leave you alone!! LOL!!

did you

survive the christmas parties? lol.  i hope all is well!
