Day 25 - Shimelle's LSNED Class

Friday 25th September 2009

Yay -- Thank God It's Friday! Found out at work today through a work friend that another colleague has issue with me. This is not the first time my friend has told me about this person. The previous time my friend told her that she should talk to me about it and I welcomed the opportunity to find out why this person felt the need to bitch about me to someone else. So I have been waiting for this person to talk to me for the past few weeks and there has been ample opportunity for her to speak with me. But she hasn't, so I thought all was ok between us. It should be noted that she resigned a couple of weeks ago and is due to finish up next week. I was assured by our boss that it had nothing to do with me, but I can't help but feeling that this may be the second person I have driven out of my workplace. Anyway, she had another "conversation" with my friend today and I just said to her, I don't know what I have done wrong and if she won't talk to me about it then there is nothing I can do to fix it! I know I am not always a nice person to be around, particularly in this job, because I am under so much pressure. But please give me the opportunity to make some sort of amends. I am not a heinous bitch, truly I'm not!

Which {eventually} leads me to:

Today I learned that I have no control over what people think of me. And I can be ok with that.
