Why my coworkers hate me

[hvindenm]

I finally have an answer.  They hate me because I'm beautiful (please note that I really don't think this).  Or maybe it's because I'm selfish and narcissistic (I do have these traits).  :-P

I loved working at the library, many years ago.  It was an all-woman staff, but I did not sense the sexual tension / general competition that there is in my

Uh... you coworkers hate you? Really?

I'm not surprised by this at all. I guess you probably know that women judge men in a bar not by the man, but how pretty the girl is that he's talking to. There's a girl causing quite a bit of frustration to my social group right now who definitely does this.

Yes, but possibly only for the moment. It's the trend in Connaway that just one person becomes the designated lepper of the season. I usually know which one it is becuase the lepper doesn't get invited to lunch, doesn't get invited to come along in van rides to seminar, doesn't get talked to in the hallways or the breakroom. I'm so close to being done that I refuse to play the game. I was done last week, after finding out I was the lepper. Finished. It's a waste of energy to appease and attempt to be friendly.

This likely reinforces my lepper status, but I'm very okay with it. :P

Oh, man. That sucks. This happens quite often in places of work. Well, I still like you so please say hi if you are in my neck of the woods.

Too bad you aren't studying Mycobacterium leprae! ;)

I think I may have had similar status when I was in Connoway, I just didn't care!

I'm selfish and proud of it. =)
