ORIGINAL: dcnovice I admit I generally steer clear of office politics. I admit that proved impossible today, since colleagues had an interminable meeting in our shared "newsroom" space. I admit me, too... I admit that was partially the reason I became main topic during supervision yesterday... I admit the main reason I was criticised was, because I dare to ignore stupid comments/questions at work... I admit one of the two who were pissed off about me is a very loud person and as she yelled at me at times in the past when it was inaccurate to do so (and she did not bother to apologize once it was found out that she was wrong) I simply decided not to answer silly comments from her...and now she is all butthurt about it how I dare not to answer her... I admit, I am tired of her loudness and have no interest in a fibromyalgia flare up due to an unneccessary argument with her, therefore as much as she expects from me that I have to take her as she is, she will simply have to learn that I am who I am as well... I admit, though, I can understand that my love-hate colleague G got irritated about me shutting up when he is expecting an answer but thats a simple missunderstanding between us and we will sort this out tomorrow, cause I asked him for 5 minutes of his time tomorrow (didnt want to do that today cause our new colleague was on board today and she isn't there tomorrow... I admit, though, I am amused, how "silence" can cause so much trouble...I usually get in trouble for opening my mouth, now I'm in the shit for not opening it...jeeesh, can't life be a tad bit easier??? I admit, though, I did not say much during supervision cause I dont mind clarifying the issues they are having with me but I do not need a rather large audience with that... I admit on friday I am having my first of three probation time talks with my two bosses and I am expecting my boss to enquire more about my quiet attitude during supervision at that meeting but thats ok...as I am well prepared about it... I admit my boss is awesome anyway and I'm sure he figured out that his two loudest staff had that issue with me and he knows that they are not easy for everyone and actually defended me a fair bit already...after all, we already discussed in july my issues with G, so it is not that much a surprise for him that it went a bit wild again during his 5 week absence... I admit nevertheless I lubs my colleagues...though I do stay clear of their politics and don't care that this can mean, that I end up as being the topic in the end...
