It''s Friday and I called in sick because I am sick of what happen at work this week. It seems like people always looking to blame other people and I am just not bitchie enough to defend myself. So, I think I stayed at home today to lick my wound, so to speak. It''s been a hell of a week, everyone is on the edge. I just want to stay away from work today.

The problem is this: there is some set of procedures thats been followed long before I joined this company a year ago. Now, out of the blue, some regional lady calls to say that she has concerns about this set of procedures and decides to change it. I don''t mind she is changing it for the better but the way she talked to me that really bug me. From my point of view, she blame me although she didn''t say it directly. The procedure is an easy fix but she didn''t bother to research on the source, she just sort of point her gun at me who didn''t even start the procedure to begin with.

I have a very good reputation and an excellent performance review since I join this company one year ago. A lot of people in this company even say further that I am one of the best they got, yet I only join a year ago. My boss is ecstatic to have me as part of the team. As for the incident yesterday, he said that this lady is just being ridiculous. I mean, its ok to change thing but why blaming someone who didn''t even set that procedures to begin with.

I forgot to mention that after our phone call, she emailed everyone about the new procedure after she talk to me. This lady was bitchie. Sharp tongue. She was usually nice but yesterday she was not.

As a side note, I don''t usually call in sick. Last year I only call in sick once. I like this job but only this week its been a little too much for me. I am just too darn sensitive. I need to learn to dissociate. I also need to learn to be bitchie. How to learn to be bitchie but still be nice at the same time? Any advice?
 
your need for a personal health day is OK!

Be yourself as you are, don''t stoop to her caddyness, maybe she''s been at her job too long and don''t like it, or maybe she just has power control issues, or maybe its her inability to come up with the idea in the first place, who knows.
 
Thank you for all your response!!! I feel much better already.

I never heard of a mental health day. Thats a new one for me.

D&T: Yes, you''re right, it could be a lot of thing, I sort of get it by now.
