Just one of those regular days at work where you are expecting to just have a normal shift, so you come up to the desk and ask your colleague in a mildly cheerful manner how the day has gone and you can immediately see on her face "Oh, here goes...
Whiner1: Oh, I'm so tired...
Owl: Oh right, was it busy?
Whiner1:Yeah, it just got really busy right now and I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. I feel so tired cause my baby was crying the whole night last night and I didn't get any sleep at all. I was working nights for the last few nights and it was just a killer.... blah,blah,blah...
Owl: Oh, OK, is there anything I can do to help you there.
Whiner1: Oh yeah, can you please look after this one thing, cause I did not get to do it from my task list and blah,blah,blah....
Owl: Oh, yeah sure, you go ahead and go inside and finish up there, so you don't get interrupted.
Enter Whiner2
Owl: Hi, how are you?
Whiner2: I'm good, except for the fact that one of the girls I was working with left me to do more work than I had to, so I really do not want to help anybody anymore cause I just end up getting used.
Owl: Oh, I'm sorry that's how you feel. Silence.....
What is the deal with people! Why the hell do they think I care about the choices that they made with their lives. I have decided not to have children at this stage so I can have a quiet life so I really do not give a rats ass if your baby kept you up all night and its not my problem if you don't have the balls to tell your colleague that what she has done to you is not nice and to please not do it again! I am NOT your damned shrink man!
It may seem a bit cruel and UN-emphatic but Hey! I have worries too and it may not be deemed serious or stressful to anybody but for me it is, and I do not go out whining it for everybody to vouch for freaking sympathy, just because someone seems to be listening, it does not mean to say that they are in an emphatic mood.
Anybody want to open a Whine-a-holics Anonymous?!? I can recommend it to a few people I know...
