How is it grown men don't ever learn when to stop? I seriously let it out on them this morning.. They were doing it again. Going all gloom and doom about the weather.. Which granted is a bit nasty but nothing major.. I do have a silly fear of bad weather but I can handle it if you leave me alone. I just can't take being bombarded. I've told them so many times. So I let lose when they started this morning. Told them they needed to grow up. They were like "well you know we do it to bust you". And I DO know that, but I cannot handle it! Yes, to ignore them sounds easy. But with them less than 6 feet away from me (it's two offices connected) and deliberately talking loud etc, I can only hold out for a while. So when they asked what they could do to make me "like them again" I told them they could just shut up and not talk to me at all! I am mad at them! They are all over 40 years old. This isn't a new thing either. It's been going on for years! And what with the bad week we've had the stress levels have been rather high. I don't need them to needle me! ALL I asked is to be left alone and I will deal. They all just left for lunch but I wouldn't go with them. My one "friend" (possibley ex!) made the comment on the way out "It's going to snow and snow and snow"! I promptly told him to go F**k himself! Sorry if that offends but I think he deserved it! Especially as he's been one of my closer friends here and he knows how certain things bother me. He's getting a divorce and has been a real jerk lately. I've told him he shouldn't take it out on me as he didn't seem to realize he was. But like a lot of little boys, some things go in one ear and out the other.. I want nothing to do with them at this point. For now I will do my job and speak when spoken to. Otherwise I want them to leave me alone. If they keep it up I'll ask my boss about moving me somewhere away from them.
