Pickles, they don't like you and it wouldn't surprise me if they make it increasingly harder for you to work there.

To be fair, it isn't just me getting singled out. The same thing happens to two of my other female coworkers (the only women there who are genuinely friendly and nice to me).
 
I think you are aware how cliquey it is there. Just try and fly under the radar until you get that year experience.
 
The other day my sister and I went out shopping together. Now, I know I get frustrated trying to find shoes I like, and machine washable work suits are hellacious to find. I just never realized that trying to find fabric lined vinyl table cloths that I liked would also be ridiculously difficult. Seriously, if I have to look at it every morning before I have my coffee I do not want it to be horribly ugly.

At least it isn't personal. :funny: That's good. Obviously then it's the other women's fault they have that poor attitude. It's time to band together with the people who aren't mean to each other! :woot:

Crate and Barrel would probably have something not ugly. It's expensive but....figures. :funny:
 
"Pickles, we've been getting some complaints from some of the other staff. At first we thought it might be just some insecurities showing on their end but due to the sheer volume of complaints it appears to be that you're coming off as troublingly intelligent. As such we want you to incorporate some new language. We'd like you to use the word 'like' three times more than you currently do. No, don't worry, we're not requiring that to be in any form of context, in fact we'd prefer it if it weren't in context... just use it more. We'd also like it if you could introduce 'y'know' into your everyday lexicon... and would it kill you to giggle erratically for seemingly no reason at all?

We think that taking some of these measures on board could really improve your in-house relationships with co-workers and we hope to see an improvement in this way over the coming days..."

:funny:
Could you please condence this post full of win to a smaller selection so I could put it in my sigline?

I guess that's impossible as this post is perfect as it is :heart:
 
Maybe I really should've gone for a Ph.D in feminist rhetoric like the head of the English dept at my university wanted me to. Then I wouldn't be accused of being a "know it all" for being intelligent, quick at thinking and problem solving, and creative (and being confident that I am these things). Maybe people see "young and blonde" and assume "dumb" needs to go along with it :down

You still can. Who says it's too late? :yay:

And yeah, "young and blonde" is often stereotyped with "dumb and clueless." My physics TA in college looked like the epitome of blonde ditz, but she's at Oxford now doing a PhD in physics. :up:
 
Anita is right, you can ALWAYS go back to school

Here I am at 32 and just started working on my associates... it's never too late!

I knew I had some more threads to re-subscribe to. :funny:

That's great! Keep at it! I know someone in her mid-20's who's trying to apply for a BA (after getting educationally beat down as a kid and getting married and having a kid) and I think it rocks. It's just really cool to me when people take the nontraditional route and not cut themselves off from opportunities just because they didn't do it the way everybody else did.

And it doesn't even have to take school. I'm learning how to code for a huge website, the scope of which intimidates even seasoned web designers. (That TDK ARG will be the end of me, I swear.) It's literally trial by fire - one of my first CSS projects was an interactive pop-up menu. Yay for sample code, is all I can say. :o But it's tons of fun and I'm learning so much. Probably more than if I had taken a class. :funny:
 
Well, work HAD been going better....

I had to exchange two VERY expensive pieces of equipment that were shipped to us broken. I sent mine back properly, and the replacements supposedly are listed as arriving 2 weeks ago. Over these past two weeks, I have been doing everything possible to figure out where the heck my shipment is, because although the status online says "delivered," the shipment is missing. I have kept my boss updated. After a thoroughly awful and stressful day, today I find out from our receiving department that they officially "have no clue where they are."

Great. So, my boss e-mails me and says her plate is full and she really needs me to take care of this problem. She goes on about how expensive they are, etc etc. And ends it with "in the future, please keep this sort of thing on your radar, as it is a lot easier to track a package within the first couple of days as opposed to two weeks later." As if I haven't been nagging the heck out of everyone possible these past two weeks to figure out WTF happened :cmad: I sense continuing drama over this issue.

Also, that is awesome :up:
 
I just finished trimming my own bangs that were getting really long...it was terrifying :csad:

It's just hair, silly. Unless you were referring to having a pair of scissors next to your eyeballs as the terrifying part. :funny:



I just received a few pairs of VS panties from shopping online, and I dunno if I want to keep them. They're the new seamless panties and the fabric seems like it was cut across within being sewn. In fact, I guess that's the whole point because it doesn't show through. :funny: It's supposed to be machine-washable, but I'm still a little unsure of how durable it is. It just seems like it would start to unravel after a few washes, maybe it won't since it's mostly nylon. Has anyone had any experience as to their durability?

exactly

I'm 26 and JUST starting school in the medical field. 7 months of Medical Assisting (on month 5 currently) and of course it's not going to end there, after I certify for that, there's further schooling so I can continue moving up and make more money.

I'll be in my mid 30's by the time I'm done with school

If you have dated emails inquiring about the delivery, I'd print them out and show them to your boss, highlighting the dates times sent.

I'm sorry work is being awful for you. I hope it perks up soon!
 
With lack of a better place to post it, and as I've talked about it before, here is the latest installment of my work drama:

Today, in our weekly meeting, my boss informed me that while my task-performance and writing is excellent, my relationship development skills are leading me on the path to failure in life/my career. I am also too quick to complete tasks and despite the good end result, it makes it appear that I put no thought into it. What, wut?

She sat me down and had a long talk with me about how my strong personality, clear sense of my opinions, and tendency to tackle problems head on can be a huge turn off and that I am weak at cultivating good relationships. I have never in my life had someone tell me I suck at being nice/friendly. It was extremely depressing.

I will, of course, watch how I act even more than I already thought I was. What I took from this is that I need to make it a point to act fake and walk on eggshells, or I will offend someone :csad:

As stated by others, I think your main issue is you are out shining the rest of the staff. You are doing too good relative to your peeers making them look bad. This results in "poor relationship skills".

In addition, it does not help you are a woman but this is a minor factor given your boss is a woman too.

Do not forget that you are lloking for a letter of recommendation when you do decide to leave and freindliness might get you better one then efficiency as you seem to indicate.

I would advise to see at what pace others finish their work by and submit yours with the same timing. However, keep the quality the same. And enjoy the free time now that you do not have to do evereything so efficiently.

No, the cutting my own hair was the scary part! I was afraid I'd mess up.

I've not certain about the new seamless ones, but everything I've purchased from VS has been high quality. Their undies are very durable lol.

I am always friendly. :up: I've since changed my pacing after I first told this story, and things have been going very well lately.

Well hair does grow back, and if you messed up, then all it would take a trip to the stylist to fix it. :yay:

Yeah, I like the panties from VS too. The other clothing is meh IMO and their bras don't fit me, but the panties work very nicely. I got some lace ones from JCPenney recently and the elastic in them has started to unravel all over the place, haha. So that'll teach me.
 
Face. And something for under makeup.

Also, I *love* the shaving stuff you recommended, particularly the mist :atp:

Ahh, hmm... Well, I don't use Mattifiers during summer because it's just another layer of something on my face. I think MUFE has a Matte primer, but I'm unsure. IF they don't, Smashbox does.

I KNOOOOW. Haha, it's seriously the best thing I've ever bought myself. Best. Everrrrr.
 
I really want to smell Jennifer Aniston's perfume. According to her, it smells like: "the ocean, sea air, blooming jasmine, and tropical oils. It's my memories of California nights in the summer."

If it smells like that for real, it will instantly become my favorite perfume and I will buy it forever! Haha
 
I know I'll sound redundant.... but the second Lady Gaga releases a purfume, I'll be alll over that.
