Today I was yelled at by WB. I forgive it, because of issues that she’s projecting on to me, so it’s not a big deal, mostly amusing. Her claim is that I constantly berate and demean her. This was a reaction that started with MM’s new bitch, basically WB telling this kid that it’s ok to make mistakes, we all do. So I turned around and said, “Yeah, she should know, she made the most of them.” Complete with the usually absent pixie grin that says “I’m just fucking with ya.” She turns around and says I make more than she does, and brings up the $50 under-charge. That promptly brings the, “come up with a different example” comment and she says I’m being overly sensitive. Yeah, I’m being overly sensitive, I’m quite sensitive about any mistake I make as a result of being deaf. I convey this in a not-so-nice manner. Which escalates to me always demeaning her and every word out of my mouth is reminding her how stupid she is. SL hears most of this, and decides that our “issues” need to be discussed. So he sends me after her, I confront her, she makes her claim and I listen, and debate. I ask for examples she gives the one that just happened. I told her that I was smiling and joking, she argues this. Etc. etc. Now, this is the woman who spent the greater part of the WTs first month making them feel like idiots to the point neither of the two like her.
So anyway, seems my dry sense of humour has gotten progressively crusty, to the point where WB can’t tell the difference between my jokes and my serious comments. 10 minutes later, SL starts making comments straight to her lack of foresight after taking her car next door to get the oil changed, and finding them closed. So yeah. I’m the bad guy. Granted, I treat most people like they’re idiots, so why she thinks I might be singling her out is beyond me. The sad part, is I’m damned nice to most of the people I work with, and put up with a ton of shit (it all ends up here). So I’ve decided to treat her with kid gloves, all the way down to the b.s. ego boosting they do in grade school (Oh yes, that’s absolutely wonderful, what is it?). Yeah. This’ll be fun.
