Or if Mark pops up in this thread and says " Hey Mac , you were a little rough on my goats last night" im gonna laugh , tell my wife that Marks picking on me again , and then make fun of Marks bad choice of haircut or lack thereof .

But if someone i dont like comes in and makes those comments i probably wont take it as well.

Or if I told Silver he left his AARP card at The Glory Hole, or that Mac is a heavy humping, chubby chasing, fatty-lover.

hey this is fun!

And the rest of ya'll leave the llama alone. He's sensitive.....

Still, I feel like I can't go on without talking to my boss, or someone about how its bothering me. We have a bog board meeting on Friday. There are some things that will be shared regarding our progress since the new year on a case. I am worried that my end hasn't been strong as others and I will look bad, thus, invite more mockery.

Personally speaking I would not consult a higher up unless it's something that is really bad. You don't want to look like the problem employee and lots of time management can care less buddy. Just smile at your haters and let them be your motivators....

So interesting you said that. I felt that someone must have prayed about this. Because after I wrote that last post one of the co-workers and I sat down and had a long talk about things that have been getting us. Then, I approached my boss but asked HIM if he had ever had anything at work trouble him. We sat alone in his office and talked about some experiences he had with troublesome co-workers and what he did to get through it, and I left feeling MUCH better. Thanks for you advice Foxy, I think you were "sent" to advise me that.
