I couldn't take it anymore and felt actual relief when she was not around. I never spoke badly of her...what was the point? But she decided to include me in with all the people on the team who were "out to get her." So I said the hell with it. Life is short and she has issues. What is weird about this woman is that she can talk trash about every single person on the team (and trust me no one was out to get her) yet she could talk smack about everyone else. I was like ???????????? Thank GOD I got smart and my ass was out the door dealing with her psycho ass.

I am in the right business.. it's just some people take it too far.. which I don't like. I think there is a limit to everything.. No drinking allowed here. I work in the University. We live by rules!

I do work in the web/internet business though, and we're all pretty laid back and spend half our time drinking beer and having fun. We all take knocks off of people but you really shouldn't take it to heart, you can't please all of the people all of the time. Could it just be that you're in the wrong business with the wrong people?
