You'd think if someone was going to insult you, you'd think they'd at least spell it correctly. Here's the deal: There's this chick who works in our office, wait, did I say work? I meant she comes to work everyday and is a lazy slob who basically thinks we're all there to clean up after her and does very little work. She decided we HAVE to give our boss a present for Christmas. Four working days before Christmas. She sends out a mass email and basically asks for money. I hit reply to all to let everyone know that I didn't initiate this because after all the activities we've had the last few weeks, I'm broke and I haven't even bought my family presents yet. And figured the same for them. So she emails me back and tells me that she already knew that. I emailed her back and told her, "If you will notice, I hit reply to all. I hadn't told everyone yet." I'm a little matter of fact when I'm busy. And then instead of hitting forward, she hits reply. This is where she called me a "heffer", and whines about how I just go out of my way to be crappy to her. I do not go out of my way to be crappy. I go out of my way to ignore her existence, as she is self involved and I am tired of cleaning up after her. We email if we need something from the other one professionally, but other than that, I'm not friendly, I'm polite, and not rude. I just don't go out of my way to be friendly to her. Apparently she thinks I like to make her feel bad. Brackets are redacted names and my comments.
So I emailed her back and told her what I thought of her: "I think you just sent this to me by mistake, but I'm sort of glad you did. If you understood how hurtful it is to other people when you do stuff like this on short notice. Not everyone has a rich husband and only work for S&Gs. Yes, deserves a Christmas gift, but it is especially crappy when we've been stretched so thin with the rest of the crap we have done this week. I don't go out of my way to be crappy to you. I go out of my way to ignore your existence because while the rest of us are working our asses off, you seem to be doing absolutely nothing but walking around talking to people or on your cell phone. Even if that's not how it is, that is what it appears to be. It also makes look bad. I resent that myself, as he is probably the best supervisor any of us have ever worked for, and if that's the way he's repaid, it's completely crappy. That's why our attitudes have changed towards you in the last few months. I'm not one of those fake people who are nice to people only when it suits them. I try my best not to be a hypocrite. I don't resort to calling you names though. No matter who I am talking to. So, basically, that's how I feel."
The reply: "I did send it to you by mistake and I am sorry about that. I just blow at the mouth sometimes as well as everyone else has. You can have what ever opinion you want of me, luckily you are not my judge and jury or my supervisor. I should not have called anyone names but I do not appreciate you judging me either. You have no idea NONE how hard and I have both worked to put him through law school nor do you have any idea how much money we have or not have or why I work here. No one does here.
Never mind it does not matter at all...I should not have even gone there. I guess my stats on how much I work proves differently on your theory on how much I work or do not.
You did not deserve for me to be mean and for that I am sorry. I learned my lesson about being childish and not paying attention. I don't know how you can be "glad" but I am glad you are not as emotional as I am. We both go out of our way to ignore each other it is fine with me.
Thanks for e-mailing me back!"
So, what do you think? I think it's a load of childish bullshit, and I wish she would go away. I do not have time for this melodramatic BS. Sorry this is so long. I'm just frustrated and needed to vent. Thanks! Duckie
