Although my line manager is working extra hard to make me feel sidelined, sabotaged, undermined, incompetent and just try to pull the ground from underneath me, I've decided to fight back harder.  I'm not gonna leave my job as I like it so much and I've decided I wont let anyone put me down like that! To quote Ice T "Let your haters be your motivators".... I'm currently feeling inspired to take my work to the next level despite feeling under attack. Although it's very unpleasant, draining and time consuming, I'm not gonna run away or leave this job. I'm gonna stand my ground and I'm not gonna back down. Let the battle continue....

It's my job, I worked very hard to get here and stay here, I'm not leaving. That's final. No fucker is gonna push me out. Usually when I get bullied at work I end up leaving, three good jobs, but no more. I'm staying put f*ckers!

[And yeah it's terrible what's happening with the Palestines and Israelis]

Good for you WCD!  I know how mentally and physically challenging it can be to work with toxic people.  Surround yourself with people who will let you safely vent, without trying to fix things or telling you to quit.  You’ll definitely need the pressure relieve.  Let your passion and drive shine through.


I echo your sentiments regarding the Palestinians and Israelis.  It’s horrible and horribly complicated.

The two men who were peacefully having dinner last night, being savagely beaten at the restaurant...for being Jewish.

It’s sad and makes me sick — not just as a Jew, but as a human being. 

That’s horrible.  Where did this occur?

About a mile or two from me, on Monday or Tuesday night. Apologies for the link; I’m on my phone.

WCD, continue kicking ass. Way to use a negative to spur you on.

Really happy to find out PayPal have settled a dispute in my favour, when a company claiming to be UberEats pretended they delivered a McDonalds to my house. When in fact they said they delivered to a different address and waited 20 minutes. (We even got to watch an online animation of our food being delivered to the wrong address as part of the scam!).

A little over one hour until my long weekend starts. I haven't taken any time off since the beginning of August last year and I am fried. The clock is moving very slowly this afternoon...

Have a fabulous long weekend, it sounds like a well earned break! I dont think I'd have managed to not have a break since last year in August. 

I have another whole day of work to go tomorrow until my long weekend starts, and I expect to spend a lot of that time working in some or other capacity although I can have a lie in and take longer breaks! 

I hope you have lots of fun.

I’m amazed, inspired and humbled by the strength, or will — of fighting or even succumbing to it — whatever that inner pull is...to be on the edge of a precipice, look your (too-soon) mortality in the eye, and say “fuck YOU”.

And cheers to you, Rob...wherever your hiding place may be.
