Getting something off my Chest!



     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!
