Why does the work place have to be so difficult to be in? I
find it so interesting that people can not just get along. Prejudice is still
living in the workplace, I see it every day. Sometimes directed at me,
sometimes directed at others. There is someone I am acquainted with named, let’s
call him Dan. Now Dan has never liked me, first because I worked at the counter
and second because I’m fat. Don’t get you knickers in a bunch. I know I’m fat,
have been all my life. Except for those few years that I nearly died because of
weight reduction surgery back in the olden days. But all in all I embrace my
large size, it is who I am.
My question is
how does this affect Dan? It’s not like at lunch time I walk up to his plate
and steal his food. I do nothing to him but he has become a thorn in my side.
And just like anything that bothers you eventually you have to do something about
it. I sit in my home away from home (my cubicle) each day and overhear these
constant comments such as “Dumb ass” “Douche”. But it’s not only myself that I
hear comments being made about. Whenever a person of Asian descent comes in to
the inside sales area the usual comments
are heard, “Ching Chow” , “ So Lon Fuk”……
I find these disgusting.
Even today I get
called an “asshole” because he has to pick up the phone. It is just so very
frustrating. I have never met anybody as miserable as him. I now get up in the
morning dreading coming to work. On the days that he is off or “sick” are the
best days of the week. You can actually feel the difference in the office. I
was once asked by another guy in the office, “Did you ass fuck his daughter or
something?” my answer was “Not that I know of…..maybe,…..NAH!”
Every time dan
calls in sick or is on vacation you can just see the whole office brighten up.
There is a happier atmosphere hanging over the office. Today is one of those
days! It is freakin’ AWESOME!
