I was so angry you wouldnt believe, anyway I left the meeting before her, headed back to our office stewing, and let a combination of her humiliating putdown, pre menstrualness, and general anger at the state of our work environment (you've all heard the tale) that I just broke down in tears of frustration. I work in an almost entirely male environment, I've never been so embarassed in my life, I don't cry in front of anyone, much less the people I work with, and this is bound to be all around the shifts by the next time we go in to work. To say that I am mortified would be an extreme understatement Work sucks.

Originally Posted By trailsend OK, I was ready to whine just a tad, then I read smedley's dilema. I'm so sorry for smedley. Here I go ~ I am so frustrated I ever brought up the cliquish thing I could scream ! I was hoping everyone would forget it, but my friend Chicky*D* mentioned it again and I felt my spirits going downhill. I so regret saying that. Also, Chicky*D* ~ my sighs are good sighs. They are not angry sighs. You know, like, "Oh me, oh my" or "Well, twiddle dee dee"
Originally Posted By mele I'm sorry, smed. I hate crying in front of people. (((smed))) Here's my whine: I am really sick. I have needed a hysterectomy for years and have put it off. Well, I can't put it off anymore because I can barely stand up anymore and I'm really scared. Scared of the surgery (even if everything goes well I will still be in pain and throwing up for days), scared that there will be complications, scared my husband won't take care of me during my recovery and will mistreat me, scared that when I go in to schedule all of this the dr. will be mad at me for letting it go for so long, scared that I could have cancer, scared that I could have a heart attack at any moment because I am so anemic. I'm just really scared right now (and I've got a whole other slew of emotional problems scaring the heck out of me too.) How did I let myself get so messed up?
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<but my friend Chicky*D* mentioned it again and I felt my spirits going downhill. I so regret saying that.>> Entrails: You and I need to talk. I feel horrible that my teasing has caused you any...., gosh any anything. I just tease too much some times. I really forget myself on LP sometimes. I didn't think anybody really paid me any mind. I just goof around too much some times. I am so, so sorry. I don't see your email in your profile but I'll put mine in mine and I will hope to hear from you.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Thanks for the e-mail but now I'm confused again and concerned that anybody thinks I was being mean to you. trailsend - I want to make it clear that I wasn't teasing you. Oh, this isn't gonna come out right in print but I have to try. Looking at these posts again(here and in the other threads where you talk about this) it makes it look like I was teasing you about saying something to someone about cliques and being new. I wasn't. I totally did not even remember you saying anything about cliques or being new until you brought it up. I was pokin' fun at myself and PixieGlitter just in general because I am new (haven't even been here a year) and cliques because I always tease her about being an *elite* LPer and being just oh-so-popular. It's just me funnin' and joshin' with PixieGlitter. I didn't mean anything other than that by it. It wasn't directed at you. Honest. Maybe I get too personal on LP and don't even realize it. I really am sorry. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry if I ever did anything on LP to ever hurt your feelings or anybody else's. That was never my intention. I'm sorry. I think maybe I just need to lay low for a while and give everybody a break.

Originally Posted By trailsend Chicky*D* ~ I don't think anyone at all thinks you were being mean to me! Heavens, I don't think you were being mean to me! I don't think you know how to be mean! I'm jumpy when I see "clique" and I'm the one who said it! I'm totally embarrased about it. You have absolutely no reason to feel any way at all. You and I both are new. I haven't been here a year myself. Please don't go away. You're too much fun.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling aw, well, thanks but I'm not trying to be dramatic here or get any sympathy from anybody. I'm just trying to be honest. That's one thing I've always respected about LP'ers. Truth is I wasn't even thinking of you when I used the word "clique" and I had no idea you and that word had a history. With my LP marathon session last weekend or whenever that was I've been feeling "overexposed" anyway. It's time I let other people get a word in edgewise. No worries, it's all good.
