Well TC it sounds like that you too have a lot on your plate. I have worked with people like the ones you talk about before. I know its hard but you have to tell yourself that you are there for you and you only. To make a living and thats it. I know thats easier said than done but you gotta watch out for you. Can you possibly wear ear phones to tune them out while you work? Just an idea. Hugs to you.

I'm sorry that you are having a tough time.

I agree TC it does sound like you have a lot on your plate and not very much support either at work or at home...

I agree with Theatre that you are going to have to adopt an attitude of taking care of #1 and the leave the stupid coworkers behind....work hard and your bosses will notice....

Good luck with the testing and find some way to do something you like and enjoy (((((hugs)))) none of this is easy....

Tc, my coworkers talk about me, I'm sure. I'm the responsible one and they aren't always responsible so I agree with theatre....you have to just tune it out. Not every workplace is conducive to friendship, esp as it sounds like these two girls aren't people ya wanna be friends with anyway!

Keep working hard at what you're there to do: work!

Hugs!

I'm so sorry you work with a bunch of jerks! When I worked at TJ Maxx, it was the same for me; obnoxious, catty, and rude kids talking about me behind my back. The manager realized what was going on and put me to work in the back unloading boxes from trucks. I know you're still acclimating to your job, but do you foresee a time when you won't have to be under the pressure of these kids? Maybe hold onto that...

I also hope your testing went ok - it can be very tiresome! (((Hugs)))

I had a different type of a job, where i could work 3rd shift. I got so tired of working with people, women like this, night work took a toll, not just with sleep, but friends all on day shift, evenings free and i had to sleep. I feel for you. it is hard to shut out others you work with. I thought since retired i had found a good spot with volunteering at a no kill shelter for kitties. ( i love my cats) well my luck, the two who had to train me, he cussed every word or two, and other lady was 82, and i think she thought the Board had planted me there to take her job. After 3 months, i had to leave. I still cry thinking about the kitties i cared about..all 85 plus. But i worked like that, and had to put up with it... pay check and Ins. pension etc. but it is hard to be around people like this. Hang in there. Vent here. let them talk, their issues, ignore when possible.
