I know this is somewhat contradictory because im going to whinge and whine about the same thing in my topic, but...
At work, there is a girl - when she's nice she's lovely - but all she does is bitch. She bitches about the other people at work, about her friends (!!!), about general things, and she doesnt hide it either. And being the one that sits closest to her, she bitches these things to me, and my 8 hours a day at work is marked by incessant bitching, and me just smiling . I dont really think half the things she bitches about is worth bitching about - i know the guys in the office always make jokes etc, but I dont think that anyone should take them to heart . If you can't have humour in the office, it wouldnt be interesting right? But she can't take these jokes - i think she takes it a little too personally, and then she complains, and she makes comments back at them - but not in a nice joking way, but "below the belt" type jokes ...
and i know she wants to get me on her side, but i just keep doing my work, put my head down and smile occasionally....
It never occurred to me how bad girls bitching sounds, but when u hear it every day about the most stupid things on earth , then it really starts to get irritating.
*sigh* I dont know what to do - maybe if i keep smiling and never saying anything back , she'll stop bitching?
I know i know - im contradicting myself by doing it on my blog.. but i had to rant a little :) I really like her most times, and she's a great food and lunch buddy, but i can't take any more bitching.. *CRY*
