co-worker co-weirdness

[flamingsword]

And let me just say that professional jealousy is weird. I'm proud of myself for figuring it out, and for triaging it for future fixing, but until the economy picks back up, some of my coworkers aren't going to be doing as well as they had been, and most of my regulars are pain clients, they're not going anywhere. There's a little less friendly tolerance of me than there was before Thanksgiving, a little less warmth to the breakroom conversations, more odd looks. No, I haven't pissed anyone off, and even if I did, the two other people who are still booked wouldn't be getting similar treatment. >:[

It's very human to feel threatened by someone who has the things that you want, but it's not a part of humanity I can share in. So I just get to be uncomfortable in a new way for a bit.

Whatever.

I don't do jealousy very often... and the times I have (and we are talking YEARS ago) was romantically.
I honestly don't get the proffessinal kind.

I don't get any of it. Other people are just not that scary to me. Honestly, the worst thing anyone can do to me is ignore me, and that happens all the time anyway. What they have, what I have or haven't got - what has that got to do with what I am to them?

People are fucking baffling.

People have to understand that massages are luxuries for most. I know that first hand. If I can't afford them, I don't get them. If therapists can't get work, they can try another clinic, freelance, etc. Life is tough...good luck surviving your work place.

YAY HUGS!!

*hugs you twice* One of those is for your girl. Pass it along for me, ok? We miss you guys. Panoptikon is not the same w/o you. Even Tyler misses you, which . . . until last night I wasn't sure he could TALK about non-fiction subjects. Your absence has overwhelmed his social phobias. That's impressive.

What can you say?

You have skills, and luck.


We are not alien to jealousy for such things.


Being the bomb attracts both adoration and hate alike.

It's not hate . . . hate is more familiar, and as fucked up as it is, I'd be more comfortable with it. Grr.
